Cold stimulates a few responses of which hair erection is one. This is considered by most to be a legacy response from when body hair was thicker and thus a better insulator when the hairs stand up.

Why does your hair stand on end when you take off your hat or a cold dry day?
When you take off your hat, you hair stands on end because of static electricity. Basically, the friction from your hat being removed causes the hairs to lose some electrons and become positively charged. Like-charges repel, so all of the positively charged hairs try to get as far away from each other as possible. This is why it stands on end. When you are cold, your hairs stand up to trap air. Air is a very good insulator, so the hairs trap pockets of it in an attempt to keep you warm. They stand up because little muscles under the skin attached to each hair (called hair erector muscles) contract, pulling the hairs upright.
