Is she also itchy? If so then you should probably check with your vet to make sure it's not something besides dry skin.

Do you bathe her? Sometimes a shampoo or simply the act of bathing can irritate/dry out skin.

If she's not itchy, has no scabs, fleas or bald patches, and doesn't get bathed then it's probably just dry skin, and given the state you live in, with a heater running in the fall and winter does tend to dry out skin/hair.

For dry skin/hair/excess shedding the product we use at work is called
Shed Stop It's got Omega 3 oils. It makes a nice slick, shiney hair coat and reduces shedding/dander. However if you cat is particularly fussy about what she eats, you might not want to buy a large bottle until you see if she will eat it.

Shed stop is available from many pet catalogs, pet stores, and sometimes Wally's World (aka Wal-Mart).
