here's some more info to back that up

Wood frogs exemplify the first group of freeze-tolerant animals. As the temperature drops, these frogs produce an antifreeze, which allows them to control where and when ice forms. With this control, frogs can ensure that ice does not form within their cells, which would kill them, and they can prepare their metabolism to be turned off. When frozen, a wood frog neither breathes nor bleeds, and has a barely recordable heart beat. Once temperatures climb, all functions return. The frogsicle becomes a happy hopper.

^^ yeah, this is real. One of my first memories of Animal Planet (or discovery, the like) was a show on the weather cycle in Alaska and it made a big deal about how animals made it through the bare-ass cold, this was one of the animals they focused on and showed a time lapse of the bugger waking up. Cooool shit, I wanna be able to freeze through winter...
