Storing things at relatively low temperatures (but preferrably above 0 C)
is OK. But temperature cycling is bad. If insulating the place reduces the
daily temperature variation, that would probably we worthwhile.

OTOH, I haven't bothered to do that in my storage units here in Silicon Valley.
I should put a data logger with temperature and humidity sensors over there.
