Why does running your cold hands under warm water seem more effective than putting them up to the heater?

The warming effects of running cold hands under water seem to last much longer than putting them up to the heater (even though the heater is much hotter). Or is this just me?
Does it just come down to something simple like direct contact?
I don’t think holding a warm object would have the same effect.
(ie putting your hands in warm laundry fresh from the dryer)
Using Fluther
