Unlikely vent: You stayed 2 hrs only , about 28F above freezing point Frostbite occurs in extreme cold weather several degrees below freezing point . How ever cold weather can damage blood vessels if they have pre-existing vascular disease especially in elderly. Next time wear warm cloths and proper shoes and enjoy your beer
