When you're outside on a cold day, the air in your nose is a lot warmer than the air around you. You know how the bathroom gets steamy when you take a shower? Something similar happens in your nose - water drops come together, or condense. Then the drops mix with your mucus and run out your nose.

Oh, this one is just irresistible...
So they can stay worm, since nobody makes nose jackets!
Actually, it's a condensation thing...Warm nose, cold dry air, and mucus membranes trying to stay moist.

although being cold does not give us "the cold", the bacteria that cause us to produce excess mucus in order to flush them out thrive best in colder conditions
so, cold = more bacteria = more snot!
