Really? Puns at a time like this? You fail to understand the gravity of the situation.

This is one thing people don't realize about space. Yes, it's cold, but there's very little heat transference. You need contact for that. Heat would actually leave an object much quicker in ice water than in space due to contact and heat transference. In space, an object actually retains its heat fairly well relatively speaking.
Yeah, hard vacuum is about as good of an insulator as you can get.
