Complete Wuss.
If he walked to the top of the hill "to keep in touch with the
police", he could have walked down to the nearest farmhouse / village
/ village pub and spent the night in comfort. Complete waste
resources to rescue a fit, healthy man from a bit of snow.

Walking to the 'nearest' farmhouse / village / pub in a blizzard is one of
the worst things you can do! Repeatedly walking to the top of the hill was
foolhardy as well, once he'd contacted the authorities.
