In extreme cold, blood vessels close to the skin start to narrow. This helps to preserve core body temperature. In extreme cold or when the body is exposed to cold for long periods, this protective strategy can reduce blood flow in some areas of the body to dangerously low levels. The combination of cold temperature and poor blood flow can cause tissue injury, and therefore pain, and eventully frostbite.

Colds distract our immune systems, which are usually weakened to begin with if we even get a cold. Thus the aching is the weakness being felt.

Too much cold is just as painful as too much heat. Basically your nerves are telling your brain that you need to cool things off or warm things up. If you stay too cold for too long, what happens? Hypothermia, frostbite...think about it:-)
