Late season Swarm

On Saturday 19, 2008 I was able to observe a late season swarm. I was able to catch it in a nuc box. It consists of (5 full size brood frames) from just extracted honey frames. My question is do you think that they will make it through the winter? I plan on giving them supplemental feedings but since its so late in the season I am worried that they will not make it.

I also am curious to know if I should keep them in the nuc box or move them to a standard hive box before the fall?

The swarm was about the size of a volleyball and appears to be adjusting well to the nuc box.
