We get -40C in February a lot. Today though it hit -26C, which is already pretty cold. It's supposed to get colder this week. According to my weather app this is the coldest it's been here at this time of year for like 30 years. :O (here is Ottawa, Canada btw)
When it gets this cold, we just leave our stuff outside instead of putting it in the freezer. Is cheaper. 
I'm not kidding, my uncle has an entire balcony dedicated to this.
[has the tumble-dryer in sort of a garden shed out on the terrace, maybe 10ft away from the door to the livingroom]
[imagines taking the freshly washed laundry there and needing a hacksaw to fit a clothesbasked-shaped solid chunk into the drum]
Seriously? I thought that someone does so only in Russia.
Heck, I happily do that with the stuff in the
fridge up until the weather goes above +15C.
(Granted, I'm a traveling technician living in hotels too cheap to have minibars or fridges, never mind freezers, and my stash goes through the temporary status of "completely emptied, for lighter travel" at the beginning and end of virtually every weekend.)
