I have a cold now and would like to sit in hot tub. It is located outside in 20 degree weather. Would this affect my cold in any way?

If you are experiencing the usual common cold, you should be able to sit in the hot tub without trouble. But if you are experiencing something more serious (bacterial infection, for example) you should stay at home and rest.
