Are you drinking enough water? Dehydration can cause nosebleeds.
Have you recently moved into a city? When I moved to london for my undergrad i used to get noseblleds all the time because I wasnt used to the poor air quality.
High blood pressure can be a cause as can sneezing, blowing your nose too hard and infections.
Are you on any medication? Drugs like asprin that thin the blood can be a cause too.
Cool there you go -I hope my comment didn't cause any undue panic.
I didn't want to be an alarmist but - it's just I have a family member who was quite poorly and one of the intial symptoms of his condition was nose bleeds, but as ULUG (artist formally known as mister G?) says not to worry unless it's coming out of both holes (?!)
I'm not a doctor obviously, so if it doesn't go away in a couple of weeks even if you don't overheat your premises and open the window from time to time and take regular walks outside, then it might be useful, as the others have suggested, to check with a real doctor.
All I'm saying is: don't panic too much about it, had a similar problem five years ago and after two months it just disappeared and never returned - it was also in November/December.
I used to get nose bleeds all the time for no reason. Often it's because of a cut in your nose that doesn't heal properlyor problem with your blood vessels (high blood pressure etc) You can get your nose cortirised (?) which will seal the vessels and stop the bleeding.
