Of course clothes can dry outside even in cold weather. Clothes dry not just due to heat but also due to the flow of wind through the fibres of the fabric. The wind carries away water thus making it dry although a little late.
Of course clothes won't really dry in freezing temperatures. The reason for that is because my husband says they will and we all know husbands are usually wrong about these type of things;-)
My response:
Yes, clothes can still dry in cold and even freezing temperatures. It will just happen more slowly.
When individual water molecules gain enough energy, they turn to water vapor. At lower temperatures, there is less heat for this to happen, but it can happen.
If the temperatures are below freezing and the water has all frozen, the individual ice molecules cannot technically evaporate. If the temperature gets above freezing and/or it's sunny enough, some of the ice can melt and the water can then evaporate.
However, frozen water can transition directly to water vapor in a process known as sublimation. It's covered on Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vapor
Think of dry ice (carbon dioxide) - it goes from solid directly to gas. This is sublimation.
Frozen water can do this too. It won't happen as rapidly as with dry ice or as when liquid water evaporates, but it will happen.

The wet towel gets dry by the process of evaporation. Wet clothes hung outside on aclothesline dry by evaporation.
Why do wet clothes dry?
Wet clothes dry because of evaporation. When water on the clothes absorbs heat from the surroundings, it changes from a liquid to a gas and evaporates into the air. This process removes moisture from the clothes, eventually making them dry.
How can I effectively dry wet clothes using a dry towel?
To effectively dry wet clothes using a dry towel, lay the wet clothes flat on a clean, dry surface. Place a dry towel on top of the wet clothes and gently press down to absorb excess moisture. Repeat this process with a fresh dry towel until the clothes are mostly dry. Hang the clothes to air dry completely.

Wet clothes take longer time to dry on a humid day?
Yes, wet clothes take longer to dry on a humid day because the air already has a high moisture content, so it cannot absorb as much additional moisture from the clothes. This slows down the process of evaporation, which is necessary for the clothes to dry.
Is a highland wet or dry?
Highlands are warm and dry during the summer, but, cool and wet, during the winter.
