My husband fixed up my back room into a nice laundry room a couple of
years ago, insulated it and added a heat source, and now my new
upright freezer is in there.

But I kept my big old chest freezer in the barn for about 10 years. I
don't have a basement - just a damp cellar with a trap door down to it
- and my kitchen doesn't have a place for a chest freezer.

It gets cold here in Eastern Ontario. My freezer wasn't bothered by
it.
