Are you saying a surface that is colder than we are radiates heat to us?

Absolutely. That's 300 years of settled physics.

While entirely correct, this reply does little to explain. An improvement
might be:

Yes - but less than we radiate to it, thus the _net_ heat transfer is from us
to it, and therefore we feel cold.
