No, the feet need to warm up, not to remain cold; submerge them in warm water (but not scalding hot water).

What is the best first aide fro frostbite?

Gently re-warm the frostbitten extremity in luke-warm water (approx. 94F). As the extremity may be numb, be very careful about using warm and not hot water. Do NOT warm the extremity if there is a change it will re-freeze (e.g. you are still in an exposed position). Also, be advised that, if circulation returns, the results are quite painful. If possible, be prepared to treat for pain. Subsequent blackening of the exposed tissue indicates potential of necrosis, which may require amputation. Note that the idea of rubbing the frostbitten area with snow is purely a wive's tale and invariably will do more harm.
