Do I need to remove them from the pots and bring them inside or will they survive the winter in these pots.

    It depends upon the bulb. If you are concerned, but want to leave them in the pots, put the pots in a protected place then cover them with a fleece blanket before a freeze. You can get blankets at a thrift store. They work much better than the old standby - sheets.

    What bulbs are they?

    If they are planted as deep as they would be in the garden, it should only take blanketing the pots and taking them to a more protected area and mulching them with leaves to keep the freezing snow off of them.
