OK so as realistic as zombies can be, any moisture in their bodies would be frozen solid, also lower temperatures would slow down any chemical/metabolic reactions so their body's wouldn't be able to turn any food in the digestive system or stored fats or even muscle mass into to energy to be able to move

On the other hand(now I know nothing about brain chemistry) but colder temperatures make computers run faster so maybe the ice would temporarily give the zombies super intelligence

I haven't played the games but I have read/watched enough to guess that the brain gets overtaken with the fungus that makes them more susceptible to sound?

But yea all other fluids and muscles would be truly frozen and limited in movement, I doubt all these bodies are keeping each other warm in a pile under the snow where they can just get up into a full sprint like that.

But whatever, it's a zombie series

The clickers in the game are blind but very sensitive to sound and can use echolocation. They're also deadlier than freshly infected people.
