Nitrogen is not cold it is (as all other substances) the temperature you make it it is portrayed as cold because of liquid nitrogen that boils at -196 degrees it is used for a range of purposes from making ice cream to cryogenic medical purposes

Is nitrogen liquid or gas?

In the atmosphere it is a gas, in the soil it its a solid, nitrogen gas can be converted to liquid in air separation plants. Also, as a liquid Nitrogen is very cold -- cryogenic temperatures. Nitrogen is stored as liquid commonly for convenience, even when gas is required, because liquid is more dense than gas and more nitrogen could be stored in the same volume. Simply, the answer to your question is nitrogen is a solid, liquid and gas depending on where you find it or how you've modified it.

How do you separate Nitrogen from Liquid Nitrogen?

Nitrogen only remains a liquid at very low temperatures (-196oc) above this temperature the liquid will return to a gas, so warm it us is the answer, although because of the extreme cold temperatures and the asphyxiating nature of the gas it needs to done safely and only by trained personnel using the correct equipment.
