Translation:I do not feel cold.

I just wrote "i am not cold" because that's more conversational than saying feeling.
Native Hindi speakers! Please explain the differences between लगी & लगती. Do these two sentences mean the same "मुझे ठंड लगी है" & "मुझे ठंड लगती है" ?
लगना has a lot of uses, which are tricky for us learners to understand. A couple of websites that might help: http://hindilanguage.info/hindi-grammar/verbs/idiomatic-verbs/lagna/ http://www.learning-hindi.com/post/42603252487/lesson-134-the-verb-%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%A8-lagnaa-part-1
VJ9FzZ!!! Thanks a lot for posting the link! Now I understand लगी is just the past tense of लगती. So, for this sentence "मुझे ठंड लगी" is right (and not मुझे ठंड लगी है because है can not come after लगी as based on those links which you posted here). And है always comes after the present form as लगती as in this sentence मुझे ठंड लगती है. Am I right in making out the difference between लगी & लगती??
Feeling cold means you yourself are cold, while feeling the cold means you feel cold from something else (such as the air).
Since mujhe means 'to me', then this suggests something outside causing the feeling of cold, no?

Use मैं (main) when it (I) is the subject of the sentence.
However in this case with लगती (lagatī), the feminine ठंड (cold) is the subject.
It literally translates as By me, cold is not felt.
