I can't say for sure that leaving them out in winter would damage them or not as I haven't tried it. The plastic that the planters are made of seem to be both sturdy and somewhat flexible, not a brittle kind of plastic. I think that as long as the planters are not filled with a frozen soil or with frozen snow, they should be okay. But I would be very careful to not drop them when they are cold and to let them thaw out slowly on the off-chance that they do become brittle and break easily.

They look like they can be removed but I haven't used them yet so I don't know for sure as it is still way below freezing at my house.

I can't answer that because I don't know where you live. Here in Kansas City area where it gets cold, no. They will freeze and die. I dig up bulbs and just put them in a can in a cool place like the garage. I do put some in pots and grow them as house plants in winter. They are very easy to keep through the winter. I have had some I didn't dig up come back if we had a mild winter, but you never know. steve

I live in south Texas so it freezes very little. I would drain them for winter living here or up north. The water in them would expand if frozen and could cause damage. I leave mine outside all the time and would if I lived back in Michigan also. These are very sturdy.

You can wrap them in cling film tightly, and the place them in a ziplock bag and remove as much air as possible. Store in the pantry. I'm not sure if they can be frozen though.

Yes, I think they would be fine. Depending where you live, I wouldn't want to leave them out in snow, although they might be OK. Nice rustic looking tables!

Ours are in the ground right now with about 26" of snow on them, we can see them burning brightly through the snow. This is our second year with them, but the first year where they are under snow for over a month. I am guessing they would survive your snow as well. You could just turn them off if the amount of snow is too much, but I wouldn't pull them out of the ground.

I've never tried to freeze them, but they are dishwasher safe so I would assume that means they are able to be frozen. They don't expand like a throw away bottle would so you would just have to be careful to leave room for the liquid to expand.

They can absolutely be frozen. In fact doing so imparts a very nice chewy texture to the candy that is very satisfying.

You can if you like, but it's not necessary. I left my lights outside all winter (in Detroit, MI): the coldest and snowiest on record for the past 120 years! They worked beautifully all winter long (except perhaps when they were covered with snow.) They still worked like brand new as soon as the snow melted and they could recharge in the sun again! If anything, the "glass" is a smidge cloudier than when they were brand new straight out of the box (and after a whole year of use), but they still look good and give off good light. Best solar fixtures I've ever purchased. I'm very happy with them. You can if you like, but it's not necessary.

Not sure it can be frozen but I would imagine it could be. I do know they are good for a year to use. Hope this helps. :)

They are not cold at all. In fact I don't think you are even supposed to put them in the freezer. They are for decorative purposes only:)

Hi, thank you for the question. Yes you can place these in the snow. They don't smell as strong if they get frozen, but they do get stronger as the weather warms up. They've been used in snow to keep cats away from firewood piles etc.

I got mine in the winter months and they were packed right and did not freeze even though they were left at my mail box. It was not below zero when they came but it was freezing.

They don't require freezing...they're dry. I'd be afraid of them cracking into pieces. I store the unused in a large Ziploc. They don't go bad. Place 1 flat in lukewarm water for 10-15 seconds and as you arrange your filling for rolling, it gets more and more pliable. They're quite lovely.

I attach these to my outside faucets to somewhat purify my dogs water. In the winter, I completely take them off and wrap my hydrants. Sorry that I could be more help. I would figure they would freeze though unless you alowed a large amount of water to flow through them.
