The only frog that completely freezes during the winter months is the Wood Frog (Rana sylvatica). Because of this spectacular ability they are the only amphibian found in the boreal forest.
Snakes on the other hand do not have this type of cold tolerance. Most reptiles as a general rule are not as cold tolerant as amphibians. Snakes that are found in the northern hemisphere will hibernate, instead of allowing themselves to freeze. They will often find cavities which allow them to retreat below the frost line, these communal "dens" are often called a Hibernaculum. Most snakes will die if the temperature goes below freezing.

Hope this answers your question!

Depends a lot on how frozen frozen is, and how slowly they're brought back to temperature. I've seen iguanas (I know, they're not snakes) recover from being outside during a freeze here in Florida.

No animal after it has frozen would come to life again. Frogs hibernate----passing their winter in burrows on land. After hibernation they regain their suspended metabolism and start living again. Many snakes living in cold belts also hibernate. After the hibernation period is over, they resume their normal life.
