depends how cold it is. as the temperature decreases the body take more drastic measures to gain heat. first, hair all over you body stand on end in a hope of trapping heat between them. which is called goosebumps. if that doesn't work the body will shiver to try to get warm. in colder temperatures the body will try to protectthe vital organs by trying to save all the body heat for them. heat will slowly leave from your arms and legs, even causing them to get frostbitten.
