It depends how cold and for how long. You could get hypothermia if it's very cold. Other than that, being cold doesn't make you sick as such, but it does make you more vulnerable to infections by supressing your immune system. Your body is designed to work better if it stays at an ambient temperature. Extremes can compromise this.
