We talked about it a while back in this thread, but the walkers and their wights seem to have little to no defense against dragons. It wouldn't make for a great story if they just show up and wipe them all out.
So I'm guessing one of the dragons will die, either in war with Cersei/Euron or the wights will overrun them somehow where it'll be risen from the dead. I'd also guess it'll be Rhaegel or Viserion. That would be a hell of a twist and give the walkers some firepower but not too much for Drogon to deal with..
Or they could just swarm the dragons in wights or Dragons coming from much warmer climates become slow and lethargic when exposed to cold and well the white walkers bring winter with them. [Reply]

How do dragons handle the cold? Probably not very well would be my guess. [Reply]

Can't they just heat up everything around them with their breath of death. God I could have used that instant heat at my daughter's softball game last night. It was cold as shit! [Reply]

And also, how did all of those Wildlings that got stuck outside the gate die and get turned so quickly, if not for the ice blast from an Ice Dragon?
George R.R. Martin flew to New York to 'beg' an HBO executive to make 'Game of Thrones' 10 seasons long, according to his agent
George would fly to New York to have lunch with Plepler, to beg him to do ten seasons of ten episodes because there was enough material for it and to tell him it would be a more satisfying and more entertaining experience," Haas told Miller.
Dan and Dave were tired, rightfully so," Haas said in Miller's book. "They were done, and wanted to move on, so they cut it short and then negotiations became, how many seasons can we stretch this out? Because of course HBO wanted more."
Haas added: "George loves Dan and Dave, but after season five, he did start to worry about the path they were going because George knows where the story goes. He started saying, 'You're not following my template.'"
