Dare I leave a few pairs out overnight tonight to see what effect temperature has on each of them?

....with protection of course.

;)
 
Bag them and put them in the fridge. That'll take you down to mid 30s or so.

Bag them and put them in the freezer for a more wintery day simulation.

The bagging is just to reduce external condensation and icing.

I note that when Peter Dunne reviews a bin he sticks it in the freezer and then drops it in warm water as a leak test. He has also been known to both drop review bins onto hard surfaces and throw bins in a big arc onto soil surfaces. Not sure I want to try that with my bins though!

Uh, yeah, I'll pass. ;)

As for the other two, I would not have a problem doing either though it is supposed to be fairly cold tomorrow night and Wednesday with wind chills down into the negative double digits. If that isn't a test then I don't know what is.

So it's colder outside than in your freezer ... I do love temperate climates ;)
 
Tonight it isn't...well, maybe it is with this Nor-Easter going through. Tomorrow night it most certainly will be. I will prepare a setup to test just this issue.

They all have valid manufacturer's warranties though right?

;)
