They must go down into the mud over the winter. I'm not sure how they survive freezing, the water pool is too shallow to not freeze solid.

We had the same thing the two years before that! Tadpoles in November! In the kids pool outside. They just never grew. In fact, we had emptied the pool and brought them all inside in the hopes of at least getting them to the frog stage. We had luck with that part but they would die soon afterwards.
