Any time your body must work to maintain an ideal temperature you burn additional calories. Not only when it is cold, but also when it is very hot.
I recently heard a theory that a contributing factor to the rise in obesity in the USA is because more and more people live and work in climate controlled environments.

I believe a stat was reported that researchers at the south pole typically require 2-3X more caloric intake due to the prolonged exposured to cold.
