ANSWER

Generally, your skin will not itch just because of the cold. Instead, it is probably dry. Cold air is usually dry (warm air is moist, which is why it feels muggy in the summertime), and this brings moisture out fo the skin. Dry skin can be flaky, and it is instinct to sctratch at it to get the flaky dead skin off and because dry skin can be irritating to the new skin underneath it.
