I wonder how Jon has survived at least half a day on at most -10°C with fully wet clothing, on an undead horse (so no heating). That horse was undead, right?
I don't believe the horse was undead, though I could be wrong. In prior sightings of said horse, it looked fully-alive to me.
As far as plot holes, I agree. Though I don't want to say I'm willing to forgive, so much as I'm too enticed/engrossed in the visuals and the overall story and where it's headed. Plus, it's Fantasy. Nothing can be truly 100% realistic. "Magic".
Now, as far the fully wet clothing and such, I'd say you could still survive, albeit barely. You're laying on top of a horse that is running, thus producing heat. So his core temp probably was elevated by laying on the horse, at least long enough to get him to the Wall and in a heated room to recover.
Plus, he technically is undead. GRRM confirmed that Beric (Flaming sword guy) is a Wight, but animated by Fire, not Ice. But he is still undead/a wight. Jon was resurrected by the lord of light as well, thus Jon is similarly a Fire Wight.
