Alarmed by Zoomed Forest Floor's reviews

Like I said soil mites and other spider mites will survive freezing. They live here without burrowing deep enough to get below the frost line and it can get -30F. You can chip off frozen soil and thaw it to find it full of mites. If there are snake mites native to here I imagine they survive somehow too, some things just lay eggs to hatch after it warms up, but maybe there aren't any native species of that parasite.
