We want to get a chest freezer so we can stock up on food; particularly buy half a cow for the year! It would be so much cheaper... actually we NEED to get one because we joined a CSA and will be receiving LARGE quantities of food.

So the apartment we're moving to has a nice little balcony that is covered - but not like a three season porch, it just has a roof.

We are considering putting it out there, but we get freezing winters, like icy and -20 temps.

Does anyone know if we could keep the freezer out there? If not I think we might have space in the walk in closet, but that would definitely infringe on valuable storage space!
