Not for very long at normal room temp.

A friend's dad built a rack to store citrus in his basement (his Texan
brother would send him grapefruit every year). He rigged a fan to blow
air over it to prevent spoilage. The basement was roughly 55 degrees
during the winter.

If your basement (or garage) was cold enough, I would stash it in a basket
and maybe try the fan thing.
