Bango me thinks they'll go for food more...but Zombies are 'supposedly' slightly afraid of fire, on an animal instinct level...so why they wouldn't be afraid of the cold I don't know, It sounds plausible, that they also try to stay away from cold...not straight to the center though probably just above and below the equator because that's where most animal and human life is...
'The simpler the answer, the less likely the answer, to the questions it may cause, to be complicated'
Native American Indians were migratory. At least the Plains indians, I think. I'm not an expert. Didn't early man migrate from Africa, through Europe, across the frozen Bering sea into North America, down into South America?

So, what you are asking in effect is this: Do zombies have a survival sense or do their instincts tell them to seek food to the exclusion of their betterment?
"Merely having an open mind is nothing; the object of opening a mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid." G.K. Chesterton
I've always thought they would have just a basic aggressiveness to find nourishment and expand their "species" outside of that I don't think they would do anything else. They would probably just stay put and freeze. Then thaw out and begin anew.

Yeah that's it in a nut shell. My personal opinion is that they would have survival instincts but if they don't then all the better for us
Better for all, yes. I think it's just going to be basic motor skills and the slightest bit of instincts still remaining (the drive for food being one of them). If we're all wrong it's a moot point, anyway.
Here's to me for having a somewhat obscure answer to that one. ;)
"When there is no more room in Hell, the dead shall walk the Earth"
-- Because The MUPPET SHOW Said So.
After having read this I bring up a small factor, Mammals are not migratory. For the Most part, there are a few mammals, such as Bats, Porpoise and Pronghorn, that are migratory but no primates. So the Migration Instinct should not be directly ingrained to them. Another note is if they are completely dead then it can't exactly have instincts, its dead it can't have brain activity. There are only 2 qualifications of dead, the heart stops beating and the brain stops functioning. If the brain stops functioning nothing else works, if the heart stops functioning it damages the brain. Aside from this fact lactic acid would build up in muscle tissue, bursa and synovial fluid sacs would break down if not be completely destroyed without blood flow to them and from them. The human body is a complex organism remember that when trying to figure out whether or not they would migrate. I think they would but out of 2 reasons the first is food the second is boredom. Considering if they feel it would be to a very minimal degree, in my opinion, they probably wouldn't feel the cold and yea we would probably be lucky enough for a few hundred to be destroyed through cold. But we could also assume we would be lucky enough for some to die during earthquakes, and volcano eruptions and tornadoes and hurricanes. Is what your suggesting actually run to mother nature for help when she is just as deadly to us as she is to them? Without electricity and training you can't live in the climate your talking about any better than they could.
Everything In this post is speculation via this posters reading and studies if it has offended someone or made someone use the cavity in their cranium where their brain used to reside the poster officially apologizes. He had no intent of offending.
**A side note many mammals are migratory in fact most in Africa are.**
You have to remember though that zombies wouldn't be the only ones having a hard time surviving a winter. Without plowing services working you would need specialized transportation such as snowmobile, snowshoes, and crosscountry skies. Then there is the problem of finding food. Grocerie stores are only going to be full of supplies for so long and reaching them is going to be tough. Then there is the fact that you are going to have to deal with the cold. You have to collect a fuel source of some sort. Dead wood laying on the ground is kind of hard to find under 3 feet of snow. Your going to have to chop it or have it already stockpiled. Even if you have everything you need to just survive you are still going to go bonkers locked up in a house half freezing all of the time. Your going to need some good company or some good books.
