Can I plant strawberry plants in November?

I have recently taken on another half plot and so have room for a dedicated strawberry bed.  I have rotted runners in plantpots but i wonder whether to leave them potted and plant out in spring or to plant them out now.

I figure if I plant them out the roots will stand a better chance against freezing then in pots outside, but i have also read that the roots could be damaaged in soil upheaval if the ground freezes.

Just found a good page on the RHS site:

Thanks Aunt Sally - some useful information 

Put them in a box packed with straw, and put them in your shed; this should keep them fairly cosy

Yes, 1L pots would give a bit more insulation.

If I put them in the garage would they need light at this end of the year? There is a window I could put them against - of course I would have to water them.

mine are in pots in the greenhouse - they will be potted on and put outside at the end of Feb if I stick to my plans and the weather is good enough 

My strawberry bed is in a real mess
I've got some seeds in the freezer which i have to take out in about 3 weeks time to pot on the windowsill in the kitchen.
Should i leave the plants i already have in the ground, & would digging up & replanting the ones i have be a bad idea - just want to tidy the bed up?
