If one part of the body is warmer than the rest, would that make the other parts feel cold?

General question Created on 18 Aug 2014

Details

For example if you are stood in a room that has a neutral temperature (i.e. a temperature that does not make you feel warm nor cold) and then you get into bed, sat up with only your legs under the cover, would you feel considerably colder on the top half and possibly get goosebumps (despite the upper body surrounding temperature not being too cold for thermoregulatory responses to a cold environment?) If so, is it due to the comparable difference in temperatures from your bottom half (under the covers) to the top (out in the open air)?
