Its to protect the surface from freezing or frostbite. The same for your cheeks and ears as well.

As a rule of thumb, a Dogs nose should be moist. If it is dry then there may be several reasons behind it. For example, it could be because of dehydration, change in weather, allergies, or because of underlying medical problems. The solution is to regularly apply a nose balm or a wax such as the Pup wax from Puppington's.
