This right side of the character looks like a person inside a house. The person looks like he’s cuddled up (almost like he’s lifting his legs up to his chest), so he’s feeling cold. The ice radical also makes it look like it is snowing outside
How I memorize this character: the left hand side radical is ice; and the right hand side looks like a house (like a roof)– stay inside house when it’s cold outside. Thus, I think of an icy / snowy winter day and how it is cold.
I remember this character by creating a story out of it. The character looks like a person is staying underneath a roof (basically stay inside the house) and the two dots represent snow.
This character is very similar to 今 from 今天. What I do to remember it is to think of a cold day, so I add the ice radical and try to remember that there is an additional dián stoke.
This character can be memorized because the top of the right side of the character looks like a hat and the part under that looks like a scarf. These are what people wear when it is cold outside.
When I try to remember a character with a correct meaning, I always look at the radicals. Once you know the meaning of the radicals, the character is usually related to what the radical represents. And the parts that are not radicals tell us the pronunciations. For this character 冷, the right side tells us the pronunciation.
