Thanks for responses. I suppose the rolling in snow technique versus stripping/wringing of clothing would mostly be a situational choice dependent upon the wind chill factor, one's physical condition, etc. And I too suspect that it would be less beneficial - regarding the mitigation of heat loss to convection/wind - with modern synthetics versus wool. That said, if in such a situation wearing synthetics in such cold/wind chill where stripping/wringing of clothing not a viable option then I'll roll around in snow for a few seconds if it will buy me a few more minutes of survival time.
