Their mechanical functions shut down when they're too cold, but unlike warm blooded animals they don't die before freezing. Their nervous system is active while the cell walls burst from the ice forming inside them. The warm-blooded equivalent would be burning alive, where you die from destruction of cells rather than your body 'shutting down'.
