No. Wear appropriate clothing and make sure you are properly warmed up.

Shoveling with a shovel

If you freeze to death, it will be hard to grow muscle

It snows 8 months out of the year here in the mountains. Cold weather is great for eating big and lifting big.

Burn some serious calories hiking in the snow and cold!

This, wear enough clothing so that you are taking some off as you warm up.

Start off like an Eskimo lol!

I would imagine the inside of the gym is warmer...

 

[BRICKS]

I grew up in North Dakota. Pretty sure it doesn't hinder growth.

Copy that everyone, I appreciate the information.
I just wasn't sure if the cold temperatures would make my body go into a survival state and just burn more calories and eat muscle.

You make it seem as if you don’t have access to the great indoors

Warm up good and wear warm clothes to get there...

Well I work 16 hours a day and 6 to 7 days a week. I workout mostly at work and not alot of inside at my job lol

8 months of snow!? Where do you live brother?

I work outdoors a fair bit of the time.

Like the Bros said, nothing better to fire-up an appetite than hard labor in the cold.

Also like the Bros said, ye need layers and ye need to be cognizant of when ta' remove 'em so ye can avoid sweating as long as possible.

Sweat + single digit temps = hypothermia.

TL;DR - nah, ye won't lose yer gainz being outdoors. Eat big and dress appropriately.
