You can't really be allergic to cold weather or wind. But, if you have asthma, extreme weather and cold air are sometimes an irritant to already inflamed airways, and can trigger asthma symptoms. The best prevention, for both allergies and asthma, is always to take your prescribed controller medicine, if you have one.
Beyond that, you can use a rescue inhaler to treat asthma attacks that come on anyway. Cold air bothers me, and I've found that if I warm the air I'm breathing by wrapping a scarf or neck gaither around my mouth and breathing through that, it helps.
You should also consult with your physician to make sure your treatment plan is up to date.
