Hamlet perceives it as deathly cold.
Horatio says it's nipping - we'd now say "nippy" - and that the cold is penetrating, and sour.
Horatio's word "eager" is taken as "aigre," a word which means "vinegar." So the idea is, Horatio is saying that the cold air is sour in a sharply penetrating way.
Consider the air on a warm, springtime day. That air is "sweet" - pleasant and nice to breathe. The idea of "sour" air means the opposite - air which is not pleasant to breathe.
