This is all culled from friends, as I hate going winter camping.
First, ensure your pegs won't buckle as near as possible by having titanium pegs.
Second, if they won't go in, put rocks on them.
Third, you can try boiling water, pouring it on the spot and hammering them in quick before it freezes again. Not really recommended unless you are desperate, as it takes too long and there us no guarantee you will get them out again in the morning.
Four, take a bivvy bag and forego the tent. The friend who did this didn't reckon on an overnight thaw, and once woke up in a puddle.
Good luck. I am sure that people who have actually DONE it have a far better idea than me.
