A Northern English regional term meaning feeling bitterly cold or frozen through — the bone-deep chill you get standing at a bus stop in January with the wrong coat on. Primarily heard in areas like Lancashire and Yorkshire, 'mithered' with this meaning sits alongside a separate but related use of the word meaning bothered or pestered. Context usually makes clear which sense is intended, but the cold meaning is particularly common among older speakers in the region.
I'm absolutely mithered after standing outside for twenty minutes waiting for that bus.
