I noticed I have to pee more than usual out in cold weather. Does anyone have a scientific explanation for that?

The phenomenon name is cold diuresis.
From thefreedictionary.com:
[cold diuresis] occurs in hypothermia as a result of peripheral vasoconstriction, hyperglycemia and decreased renal tubular absorption.
You can easily find articles and papers on the subject on the Internet.
