I spend all my time biting your nose and fingers, yet I do not have any teeth, a mouth, or an appetite.

This riddle uses personification to describe a harsh sensory experience common during freezing months. The biting sensation is actually a metaphor for how low temperatures affect exposed skin. Recognizing that the painful nip is caused by the atmosphere rather than an animal is key to the solution.
