good morning!

I know, I know. "Duh, it is a freezer, it is supposed to be cold." But think about it--the fridge has pieces and parts, each of which may have various temperature tolerances. They are generally designed to be kept indoors at room temperature.
I want to pick up five to ten freezers on the cheap from craigslist. But I want to keep them in the shed, not the living room or bedroom or pantry. In the winter, they won't have to run--I could even just unplug them--but I'll need them to work by the time summer rolls around. Do I need to heat the shed (burn fuel) and run the fridges (use electricity)? Or can I let them stay cool in the winter and take advantage of the weather?
All discussion I ever hear on freezers has to do with their internal temperature, not their operational tolerances.
Let's assume an average winter temperature of 20 below zero Fahrenheit, with occasional dips down below -50. What do you think?
