Should not be a problem. The tanks they sell it out of are outside in the cold. Just keep it sealed and should be fine. Better yet, go flying!

I've kept fuel in the unheated garage for the last two winters...no problems with temps as low as 30 below. It is a good idea not to keep the jug on bare concrete though..put it on a piece of wood or styrofoam......

heh heh... yeah, but it is a dry cold 
Actually that is a worse case...it might hit that as an overnight low two or three times during the winter...

I dunno...that was the information passed on to me by people with far more experience, however it does make sense to keep plastic containers off concrete which acts like a huge cold sink (much colder than the air temp..).....
