The walking dead tv show takes places in a magical land known as Georgia which has endless summers and falls.
You can't set your zombie show in a place where it gets cold, they'll just turn into mush when it gets below freezing for a couple days.
Zombies don't produce body heat so when the water inside their cells freezes the ice crystals will burst the cell walls. A day or two below freezing would just clear out all the zombies.
Ah, but have you considered that almost all zombies are actually magical or superscience? What's important is that they set up the Gimmick that enables zombies, and then reason from that.
They should also grind their joints to dust pretty quickly, run out of energy, and go blind.
Yeah, trying to make zombies make sense is ultimately a futile endeavour. You either have to handwave everything away or you end up watering it down so far that the story becomes "If being a Baby Boomer was contagious"
