It's a warm air hose, it runs from a small shroud on the exhaust manifold 
to the air box. These is a in the air box that allows this warmed air in
through this hose while the engine is warming up.

Generally what happens is the shroud rusts apart and falls off the manifold,
then the hose is left swinging. Or someone pulls it loose
when working on the car and does not reconnect it. I've just pulled
them off many of my cars and have had no problem, even in cold climate.
