My super-literate author J P Cross (THE CALL OF NEPAL) dropped “shramming” into his manuscript — which was a new word to me!
Oxford English Dictionary shram, v..
To benumb or paralyse with cold. Chiefly pass.
In Dante: http://books.google.com/books?id=JvarpYw_jWwC&pg=PA87&dq=shramming+dante&ei=0XwpSrerGpO-M6m-vI4H
