Although we have some sort of root cellar downstairs (the cement cubby where the well connects to the basement) it's damp so not that good for apples etc. With normal winter weather we've had great success keeping all the pumpkins, pears and apples in our sunroom - an unheated concrete floor east facing room, which does get below freezing if it's really cold outside, but also tends to cool down and heat up fairly tempered.
But this year, with the 50 degree sunny days our storage is going fast! I sure hope we'll last till March - most years we can still feed the girls some sort of funny looking apples & pumpkins but don't think this will be one of those years. On the other hand, it also means there is not much snow on the ground which helps foraging and stuff should start to grow pretty soon - unless we get a late winter to make up for the delay...
