No reason why they shouldn't... even if they are under a good layer of snow... it acts as a bit of a blanket... think "Igloo"... :)

garlic needs cold weather to get the cloves to form properly...and it grows in Siberia too, it should be fine....

I would guess that hungry animals and birds are more of a threat than the weather.
