Is there a term for when the moisture on the inside of your nose freezes when breathing in on a very cold...
On particularly cold days, the moisture inside of one's nose freezes instantly with every inhalation. It is a peculiar sensation as if all the hairs inside your nose have been glued together. I was curious if there is a term for this.
My efforts to find this have only revealed useful tips for avoiding frostbite.
My working neologism is 'nasal hoar-frost'.

I don't think any words will be possible with one's nose blocked like that anyway.

Nose freeze is what we call it, sometimes snot freeze. Not to be confused with snotcicle, which is when your snot freezes on the outside of your nose.

Nasal rime (a neologism, as I’m unaware of an established word/term for this)
NASAL adjective:
- of, for, or relating to the nose. "the nasal passages"
From Google link
RIME noun:
1: frost
2: an accumulation of granular ice tufts on the windward sides of exposed objects that is formed from supercooled fog or cloud and built out directly against the wind
3: crust, incrustation
From Merriam-Webster Dictionary link
Please note: bib beat me to this--by a long shot--so he should be credited, however, I arrived at this formulation independently and didn’t see bib’s comment until I was ready to post. Since no answer has been posted and with acknowledgment to bib ...

YES! OMIGOD! I thought I was the only one who experienced this. I had the hardest time trying to find it on the internet. You described it so accurately. It's like the nose hairs all become instantly glued together when breathing in the freezing air through your nose. It feels really weird and uncomfortable O_o The first time I felt it was when I was around eight years old. It was in the middle of winter and I was outside waiting for the school bus. I never thought to ask someone else if they felt it too. I was afraid they would think I was weird HAHA. I was a bit concerned for my poor nostrils when it happened. I figured it was happening because it was so cold out, but I wondered if it was dangerous. I immediately covered up my face with my scarf to warm the air I was breathing and the sensation stopped.
