Wet chickens and sub freezing temps are the recipe for frostbite. I have found that mine won't let themselves get too wet & cold. None have ever chosen to walk about in the snow either. (I know that some do go out in the snow though) If they do get wet, in freezing temperatures, I would be concerned and have plans for what to do in that situation.
Imp- the only time I keep them locked in the coop is during high winds.
