Question: Last night, I walked home from my bus stop (in Belgium). Since it was around 11 PM, it was quite cold, probably only about 4-5 °C. However, it didn't actually feel cold at all, and I didn't feel like I had to rush to get home for the cold. In fact, I didn't have headwear on, but I didn't get cold ears. It was about the same temperature as this morning, but the difference is that this morning felt a lot colder, probably due to the wind and drizzle.

I tried to describe it in English on Twitter, but I couldn't actually find a proper word to decribe it. I considered "a warm cold" or "a cozy cold", but I thought these were too poetic, more like something you'd use in a fairy tale than in a tweet to a handful of followers.

How can you describe that temperature without it becoming confusing or poetic?

Answer: 
mplungjan's **Fresh** is a very good suggestion, but have you considered calling it **cool** rather than  

"*{adjective}* cold"? 

Describes the low temperature and implies no discomfort (or you would have used something more harsh than **cool**)
Nate, several factors influence the way cold temperatures are perceived by the body. It may have been around 5ºC but, with **no wind** and very **low humidity**, it may have felt relatively pleasant. The reason is that under such circumstances, it will take longer for the exposed skin to cool and for our body to perceive it is really cold. we could then say...
