A virus! when people around you get it, there's not really any way to avoid it. When someone sneezes, a cloud of the virus sticks in midair for an amount of time which I can't remember but it's longer then you'd expect, so you get it regardless of whether you're wearing a winter coat, or a T-shirt.
The only part cold weather might play on increasing your chances to catch the flu is that cold weather might make you a bit weaker, and thus more prone to getting infected. Or it could invigorate you causing your blood to move faster, making you more immune!
