It seems lately in the last few years with out fail, the first time it starts getting cold and raining,I come down with a stuffy nose that alternates being so stuffed I can't breath, to draining a slow and steady tiny drip, sneezing and sore throat, and that annoying underwater sound congested heads get, and decreased hearing from the congestion. And of course the complimentary green snot, I have to hack up, when I wake up from being congested all night
And no I'm not around other sick people, so no one in my family gave it to me. It just happens.
What you describe might not be a cold, it could be allergies or a sinus problem.
From http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/understanding-common-cold-symptoms
One to three days after catching a cold virus, symptoms begin suddenly. They start with a burning feeling in the nose or throat. Next comes sneezing, a runny nose, and the feeling of being tired and unwell. For the first few days, your nose teems with watery nasal secretions. Later, these become thicker and darker. Dark mucus does not necessarily mean that you have developed a bacterial infection. You may get a mild cough. It won't get much worse, but it is likely to last into the second week of your illness. If you suffer from chronic bronchitis, a cold will make it worse. If you are coughing up dark material -- or if you are feeling a lot of distress low down in your lungs -- you may have a bacterial infection. These symptoms can also be caused by a cold virus other than a rhinovirus.
