Endothermy (the state of being warm blooded) is not absolute. A warm blooded animal is an animal that has some ability to keep its internal body temperature constant, but extreme outside temperatures can overpower this ability. If a warm blooded animal is in cold enough surroundings, it will fail to keep its internal temperature constant. It will develop hypothermia, and may freeze to death. If its surroundings are not quite as cold, it will probably be able to keep its internal temperature constant, as long as it eventually enters warmer surroundings (or its present surroundings warm up).
