I'm actually fascinated with many types of scenery place sets for stories. One of the ones I'd wanted to try for some settings is ice and snow. And this comes from curiosity interest and the desire to explore.

So if you want to use a type of setting you can. Go for it. Try things. Experiment.

I guess that's all you can really do is try. And keep trying.

Don't let the haters and naysayers get you down. :) Good luck. :)

In my stories I use many types of scenes. It depends on the type of genre and physics of the world and characters though. Some things mix better with some things and not with others.

Such an open-ended question. Without meaning to be. It depends on the wind (Wind Chill Factor). How acclimatized the person is to the season. Is it or are they wet or dry? Are they out in the sun with bare skin exposed? So many different questions to answer in that one question.



Issues:

1. You can get Hypothermia or Hyperthermia in the cold. Though Hypothermia is more likely. Heck you can get both, one quickly following the other. (You can get either/both in deserts too).
2. If you’re coming from a significantly different temperature and your body has acclimatized to that temperature, the effects can be more extreme. If you have been inside all day at 77°F (25°C), walking out into 32°F(0°C) is going to hit you harder than if you went from 68°F(20°C) going out to 32°F(0°C). If you’re coming from a tropical 86°F(30°C) climate and are suddenly at 32°F(0°C) it will be even worse on your body until you acclimatize yourself.
3. If you are wet, your body cools faster. Exercisers who wear light clothing during work outs; because they would be too hot during their exercises; can end up with Hypothermia when they stop as they now are suddenly cooling down and their sweat makes the cooling down more dramatic. Exercisers/workers who wear to much clothing can give themselves hyperthermia, and since their clothing is wet from sweat and possibly from the snow, when they stop exercising/working it can then become hypothermia.
4. Cold winter air is dry. Because winter humidity is low, what little moisture that is around is quickly sucked up into the air. Which cools your body faster if you were sweating. That dry is very, very dry; chapped lips, skin blisters and so forth if your are not protected and properly hydrated. Cold, dry air also irritates your nasal lining, and as a result, your nose produces excess mucus to keep the lining moist; snoty city is no fun.
5. Wind, the wind is not your friend. Nearly every cooling system blows air to cool things down. The colder, wetter and higher the wind speed is, the faster it cools you down. "Windchill" is the temperature taking in the account of the amount of cooling the wind is doing alongside the actual temperature to the human body. https://www.weather.gov/epz/wxcalc_windchill
6. Snow is highly reflective, fresh snow reflects even more than water. This means you are at risk of sunburn even on cloudy days. Always use eye protection, sunscreen and covering clothing when outdoors in the snow.
7. The extremities of the human body will get the worst effects usually first. Especially if they are exposed: ears, head, nose, feet and hands/fingers.
8. Clothing: Generally Wearing a single piece of thick clothing is not always better, but it is better than nothing. Layering is always better as you are trapping air between the layers of cloth and get better insulation that way. The clothing also must match the weather you are in of course.
   1. Base layer: Wicks sweat off your skin. Underwear that does not wick away sweat is very unhygienic and ruins the insulation effect in conjunction with the next layer.
   2. Middle layer: retains body heat to protect you from the cold.
   3. Outer layer: Shields you from wind, rain and sun.
   4. Footwear: you are walking in or on water, yes, it is frozen, but you are hot compared to it and it will melt up against you. If you are not wearing the proper footwear; your footwear will get soaked and all your clothing layers you have on no longer matter. Walking in snow waterproof boots are a must. Layering with several types of socks is a good idea.
   5. Head Wear: Heat Rises guess where you lose most of your body heat. Layering works wonders up here.
   6. Gloves: Like everything else, the colder it is the better to layer it.
   7. Scarves/Balaclavas: This is layering for the face. Balaclavas also help with retaining head heat as part of head gear layering.
   8. Fur: Fantastic insulator (Fake fur or otherwise). Northern Tribes make two sets, one for the coldest of weather with the hair inside and one for normal wear with the hair outside.
9. If you have to do anything outside, keep moving to keep your internal heater running, but do not over do it if you can.

TL/DR: Its complicated.

Layer your clothing, from footwear to head gear and at the ends of your extremities.

Stay Hydrated, and keep lots of tissues on hand.

Never get wet if you can help it.

Sex in the snow is fun, but be as quick as possible, taking to long makes it not as fun.
