Very unauthoratatively, I would say no.

Most ghost shrimp can't even handle water once it goes past 65, so I really doubt it.

any similar species that can live/breed in a pond that would freeze over in winter.

I've never tried in a pond but it went to -10 degrees F last year and the population of ghost shrimp seem strong around here. A pond and the wild are quite different but I think you might be able to pull it off as long as the pond doesn't freeze solid and the fish have other food over winter.
Just a guess.
Just a guess.

both you and the 65 degree comment are refering to the ghost shrimp bought at the lfs

I believe teleost is referring to the wild ghost/glass shrimp that he finds while collecting/sampling

Drew is correct. Sorry for the confusion.
I believe Palaemonetes kadiakensis is my common local shrimp.

do they need the eggs to dry to hatch or not?
