IF SNOWING OUTSIDE COLD AIR COULD GIVE YOU FROSTBITE TO ANY UNCOVERED SKIN SURFACE. HYPERSENSITIVITY OF YOUR SKIN CAN ALSO CAUSE PAIN...MEDICAL EVALUATION IS NEEDED
Yes. Either extreme temperature can hurt. Ears may get cold faster because they're mostly made of cartilage, which does not have a lot of blood flow.
