Not necessarily. #2 is subjective.

But then both could be interpreted as subjective. One's idea of it being cold somewhere can be as different as the sensation of being/feeling cold.

To me, "it gets cold" implies a general consensus, whereas "I get cold" is more of a personal/individual thing.

Hm, yes, you have a point there. Unless with it you're subjectively implying that this is the general conscensus.
