@limburger – Birds can stand in cold water because there’s very little blood supply to their feet. They can swim in cold water because their feathers are coated in fatty oils that insulate them in much the same way fur insulates mammals. The feathers are also hollow, which creates that dead air space necessary to keep out the cold, especially when it’s windy. Humans – and, presumably, Elves –  are very inadequately equipped when it comes to dealing with weather outside the tropics.
