Sure, it is a virus, not necessarily reflected on any certain degree of weather other than colder than what your body is accustom to. You can get a 'cold' more often when the temperature changes more than 20 degrees in a short period of time, even from day to nighttime. some people are "cold" when it is 75 degrees. Others are warm at 40 degrees. Go figure!
