Your blood vessels move closer to your bone therefore further from skin so it looks less red. This happens so your blood in your blood vessels is warmer so your extremities don't cool it down as much and cool your body down.

When people are exposed to cold, their blood vessels constrict in order to conserve heat for vital organs. This constriction reduces the flow of blood to the skin, causing it to appear paler as less blood reaches the surface. Additionally, the body may prioritize sending warm blood to the core, further contributing to the paleness of the skin.

Because the earth tilts away from the sun, so the sun isn't hitting us as much as it would during the summer. This is also why it gets colder.

Blood flow is restricted and less flows to the skins surface, therefore retaining body temperature nearer the core where is is most required.

Blood vessels contracts when exposed to cold and squeeze deep away from near skin surface to prevent heat loss through skin a process called vasoconstriction
