Hi. There are several reasons why your nose could feel blocked.  You probably have a structural problem like a deviated septum which becomes more symptomatic when you are in a cold environment. This blocked nose also blocks the Eustachian tube (tube which connects the middle ear with the back of the nose)  further causing blocked sensation in the ears.  Steam inhalation could help to some extent.  However, I suggest that you consult an ENT specialist for a detailed evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and help you with treatment.
