Barefoot in wisconsin winters:
  1. Below 15 deg F or so it is unbearably cold after about 5 minutes - start to lose feeling etc.
  2. If there is existing snow that can stick to your feet, even a minute is enough to start to numb.
0F is decidedly different from 32F. But these are feet we're talking about, not core temp & death.

This abstract of a study suggests that nude exposure to 0F gives a survival time of 9hrs.
