hello there!
yes cold can cause such symptoms. when the temperature gets down the peripheral supply of blood gets decreased and it is the blood which keeps the extremities warm, on their blood supply reduction because of vascular constriction they cahnge the color to bluish cyanosis with tingling and pain even. if it is every year trouble it is an autonomic hyperactivity called raynaurds phenomenon, that also need needs keeping the extremity warm and application of some topical vasodilators like nitroglycerine cream and TADA.
cheers, there is nothing serious to worry about every 3rd person gets these symptoms. its almost natural
