No refrigeration needed here in my part of Sask. to keep taters all 
winter. Temp in my basement averages in the fifties and a little bit 
colder in the insulated cold room that the potatoes are stored in. I 
never see any spoilage but sprouting becomes an issue in early spring. 
I've de-sprouted mine a couple of times already but will probably throw 
the rest out once the new ones start to produce.
