Definitely not a slug expert...just a typical slug murderer, Nancy,
but John Mertus has a great essay on slugs
http://www.mertus.org/gardening/slugs.html. Doesn't say what
temperatures freeze them, but does tell you what they do in
winter...and summer...in his usual inimitable style.
For those of you who don't know John, he has a page of links to his
essays...some serious and some down right
hilarious...http://www.mertus.org/gardening/zone.html
He also hosts Cyndi's List - the huge list of mailorder nurseries -
this page also has a link to an addendum to the main list:
