I can identify. Dry air seems to cause irritation particularly for me, but sudden temperature changes can also trigger sneezing for me, which is then followed by irritation, excess mucous production, and then stuffiness. I have been tested and have no allergies, so I can only conclude I have very sensitive sinuses. If you don't have/can't get a humidifier try neti(I think it's unpleasant but it helps). For the record, chronic sinusitis is not uncommon in my family; I have two relatives who have had to have their impacted sinuses flushed, so I pay attention to this pretty closely. I suspect I have narrow nasal passages, which causes the problem to be more pronounced. Good luck, it's a never ending battle here but proper hydration is the general cure as far as I have found...
