[Lingtyp] Colexificiation of 'hot' and 'cold'

Dear typologists,

Today I have learned that, in the Hokkaido dialect of Japanese Sign Language, ‘hot (object)’ and ‘cold (object)’ are colexified. The consultant told me that there could be a difference in the non-manual expression, but it didn’t seem distinctive to me. ‘Hot (weather)’ and ‘cold (weather)’ are not colexified, however.
Are there other lects (sign or spoken) where ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ are colexified? Or is this a rather unusual case?

From Otaru, Japan,
Ian
