Yes ... blood is one of the main things that keeps you warm. While you are riding, it is pumping all over the place quite quickly, but when you stop riding it slows down and doesn't pump as much to the surface of your skin or your extremities. I can feel quite hot while riding in the winter, then come inside and freeze for a couple hours.
