Snow can look like a free outdoor freezer, but frozen food may still thaw in direct winter sun; temperatures can change by the hour even while snow is falling

When a snowstorm hits, the safety of outdoor food storage becomes a major concern due to unpredictable temperature shifts. These fluctuations can lead to food spoilage and contamination, especially from wildlife. To safeguard your food, its best to keep refrigerator doors shut during power outages. Instead of leaving food outside, consider making ice packs to maintain its freshness.
