When body temperature drops due to external cold, an important component of protection is vaso-constriction of skin and limb blood vessels.The major adjustments in cold are to shiver to increase heat production, and constrict blood vessels in the periphery and skin. This helps to minimize heat loss through the skin, and directs blood to the vital internal organs.
Cold weather increases our BMR. In cold environments, our body adapts quickly by stimulating smooth muscle contractions (i.e., shivering) in order to generate heat. Shivering requires caloric energy to generate heat.

Wrong statement is 2) as TSH increases in winters
