the chill so personal it skips weather and goes straight for your soul
means Covered in or feeling like frost — literally cold and icy, or figuratively cold in manner: distinctly unfriendly and aloof.
from From Old English 'forstig' or 'frostig,' built on 'frost' — itself from a Proto-Germanic root tied to freezing (a cousin of German 'Frost' and the verb behind 'freeze'). The literal icy sense came first; the chilly-personality sense is a later figurative leap, the kind English loves to make whenever cold weather makes a tempting metaphor for cold people.
