Yes, we do we feel warmer on a winter night when clouds cover the sky than when the sky is clear

Explanation:

During the day time when sky is clear, sun emits the radiation on the surface of the earth and the  heat is emitted from the earth's surface freely escapes into space, resulting in colder temperatures.

However, if clouds are present, some of the heat emitted from the earth's surface is trapped by the clouds and reemitted back towards the earth.

hence we do we feel warmer on a winter night when clouds cover the sky than  when the sky is clear
