I thought the opposite. That when you're cold, and your body releases Norepinephrine, that it re-enforces your immune system.

Which makes sense to me from a personal experience. I like to run around in the snow in tshirt and shorts and embrace the cold. I very rarely catch colds and always thought it was genetics and not a product of environment
