It sounds like a classic case of hypothermia. If you had taken its' temperature you would have found it below a hundred degrees and probably dropping, indicated by a cold nose and a cold tongue. You should have taken it inside a shelter and either put a heat lamp on its chest area or like we do, use a diesel fuel heater and focus the warm air on its' nose and chest. I have saved a lot of cold babys this way. If their tongue isn't warm to the touch it means their core temperature is not around a hundred two or hundred three. They don't live very long if their cold inside. You don't need to worry much if their rear end is cold just make sure their chest area is warm and they are getting a supply of warm air into their lungs. I know sometimes it is hard to keep them warm until their little system gets to working but they need to be in out of the cold for awhile or they will never survive. I learned this from twenty years of lambing and calving in the winter.
