Can you get hypothermia from being cold in snow?
Three factors are major causal factors in hypothermia: cold, water, and wind.In a cold environment, the body must work harder to regulate heat; contact with cold air, water, snow, ground or clothing will cause heat losses due to conduction. Prolonged exposure to the cold and snow can cause frostbite or hypothermia.
