I had no space in my old house so I kept a small chest freezer on the outside porch. I put foam board on the top to keep it dryish and keep the direct sun off in the summer. In the winter I had to scrape snow off of it regularly. water sometimes would get between the seal and build a massive icejam on one side of it in the freezer. temps ranged from +30C to -10C.

5 years later it's in the basement of my new house and working just fine although a bit of spot rust from it's hard days outside.
