"Bundle up. You're gonna catch a cold." Is plausible.

The new study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, confirmed that finding, showing cold viruses replicated more efficiently and produced higher levels of infectious particles at the lower temperature.
Specifically 33 degrees C.
Bottomline, when your nose and nasal passageway is cool (from breathing cold air) you're creating an optimum environment for viruses to thrive. Additionally, the cool weather appears to lower our immune response to the invaders.
So your mom and/or grandmother may have been right all along.

My HS football coach told me that i couldn't catch a cold in a snowstorm.

This still does nothing to shatter my belief that grannies around the nation were hardcore stupid for implying that wearing a jacket or not running outside naked would prevent us from getting sick.
The air I inhale in my body will still be the same temperature regardless of what I'm wearing. Granny was way too stupid to get this.

Considering 33 deg C is ~ 92 deg F, this argument makes no sense.

I always wondered about this and it was one of the first things I ever searched back in the dial up days of the internet. Well, after porn.

You don't bundle up your nasal passages so putting on a sweater and coat won't reduce the likelihood of viral infection. So no it's not plausible.

You still have to get the virus from somewhere. You can't get a cold just because it's cold outside.

Sounds like a ski mask would be better than a coat.

I saw this article yesterday and just don't understand how this is news. The argument about cold weather has always been whether or not you can catch a cold from being cold. The answer is no. It's been common knowledge for a long time that the cold virus spreads easier when it's cold outside because of the effect that low temperatures have on our immune systems.
No, grandma and grandpa were not right. I will not catch a cold by not bundling up. I am just more likely to.

How do I bundle up my nose?
Eta
Nm I figured it out. I'll just tie a grocery bag around my head.

My wife's grandmother is always telling her that our kids will catch a cold because they don't have socks on. WTF is that about
