Re: storing potatoes
We keep ours in plenty of straw in non-working old chest freezers (get them through FreeCycle?) and they've survived. The carrots are in clean, dry sawdust in old freezers and I've just brought some in - perfect. There were reported temperatures of at least -12ºC round here but I wouldn't think they'd survive much more than that. A few bales of straw around and on the freezers might be a good idea.
