Is ‘catching a cold’ the same as giving yourself one from being outside?

The other night i was out in the rain and cold for a few hours and got home and started to feel ill – i woke up the next morning with all the regular cold-type symptoms and have felt under the weather for a few days now. It made me think – is this the same as ‘catching a cold’ from someone else and would i be able to pass this ‘illness’ on, or is it something different with similar symptoms?
