I am just asking as my wizard is an Ice Elemental Savant.

So, I see no reason why you couldn't come up with something similar for cold damage. Though I wouldn't base it on liquid nitrogen, since that stuff needs to be kept cold in the first place. There are several chemical reactions that are highly endothermic (think instant cold packs). But for D&D purposes, just say that it gets cold when exposed to air. :)
