Northern Virginia gets cold in winter. But since we're almost 10 years into the ZA and it hasn't been winter yet, why worry about what happens to walkers in the cold?

 

I read this and thought "How would the walkers know when/where to travel at different times of the year..." Then realised you mean the survivours :'D

 

Yeah the way the walkers decompose is kind of a suspension of disbelief sort of thing. They should NOT decompose the way they do on the show. Several year old bodies do not usually still look intact but just with leather skin. They should bloat and fall apart. Especially in hot summers. For instance, that walker that Maggie found in the trunk in S5 should have bloated, exploded, and basically become an unrecognizable mess. Yet it still looked basically like a member of the Supreme Court.

 

Always planned to live up North once the zombies come. No way they can be a threat in a canadian winter. Let them come!!

 

World war z(the book not the crappy movie) talked about this and said weather affects them more slowly than a normal corpse but still does what you would expect over time. Also said they would freeze in snow but reanimate when it thaws. I don't know if the show applies wwz's rules but it seems pretty close.
