It has to get really cold for them to hibernate?.

So in about late August, Wood frogs go into a mass migration of up to 3 km to get to higher/dryer grounds, than that of the pond area. When fall hits—thus getting colder—and as soon as there is enough leave litter, they go into the “pre-hibernation” stage, where they bury themselves into the litter and soil. Once it snows their anti-freeze like chemical in their blood kicks in, allowing them to survive below freezing temps. Between the pre-hibernation stage and the first snow fall, the temperatures range from 15-50 F.
