When it circulates back into the upper body it will be warmed up again thus reducing core body temperature. There are a couple of limitations;
1 there's nothing to stop your body burning fats to maintain your core temperature despite the fact that your feet are still freezing!
2 As your feet get colder the body tends to restrict the flow of blood to the skin thus slowing the rate at which heat is lost to the exterior.
