Hello,
My question is: Does one burn more, less or the same calories when exercising outdoors when the temp is frigid? I go on the same hike/jog as in warmer weather but it takes me longer to feel warm/ work up a sweat. It seems like more effort is exerted as I am in places walking through snow and sliding around on ice. Any answers?

    If you feel like you're working harder (increased heart rate and breathing) then you probably are. You won't work up a sweat as easily due to the colder weather.
