For those zombies in colder climes, does cold impact them in any way? Do they stay the same, slow down, freeze and die, freeze and thaw back to "life"? |

No idea about zombies, but the bug seems not to ……. |

Was that the Idea in the Book version of World War Z. My question is do Zombies stop decaying at any point? If not could you just wait them out? |

@dapeters: No idea regarding the book. You pose a good question as well. Is there a point that they completely fall apart? |

Without a proper coat and mittens? Or…. |

It depends on the screenwriters, authors and/or game rules. |

Yes, they freeze and reanimate when thawed. |

If they have no blood, then they do not get impacted by cold. |

In WWZ they do freeze. In Frank Tayell's "Surviving the Evacuation" series, the Z'ds do eventually "die" |

These should freeze. The tissue itself would freeze & at a cellular level there would be destruction of the cell integrity so eventually they would fall apart. |

Non warm-blooded animals tend to hibernate as they become progressively more sluggish when it gets colder. I'd imagine zombies would would also become slower and slower… |
