Weather When you’re cold you could feel shivers down your spine. You could feel like you want 20 quilts on top of you and then hibernate. Your muscles could ache and your head could hurt. If it’s cold enough you could catch hypothermia. You could start shivering and shaking. You could also get goose bumps. Some people feel the cold and some people don’t.
