I press it to my face to answer that question. Somehow my face is much more reliable at telling the difference between cold and wet than my hands.

I just mentioned the "wet or cold" problem to someone else and they said "just use your face"! So it's not just you. Something to try this winter...

Lips or tongue are even more sensitive for this IME. I test vitrification of pottery by putting my tongue on it. I use my lips to test washing for cold vs. damp, but we sparsely use an eco friendly washing liquid, YMMV.

Doesn't work so well if you have a beard.

Doesn't using your tongue, which is usually wet, increase the chance of a false positive?
