A new layer of ice covered the vault. James and Regulus noticed the difference. This ice was a bit duller in color and gave off more cold. Luckily, they had taken the potions. Otherwise, they would have been turned into blocks of ice like Allan.

His pallor was largely due to being in that icy cold for so long, and he noticed that his temperature was lower than normal. Closer to that of a corpse.
