storing unfired glazed pieces in a frosty electric kiln

My electric kiln is outside in a shed. At night
the temperature in the shed can get below
freezing. I would like to glaze my pieces, and
store them in the kiln until it is full enough to
fire. The point of doing this is to minimize the
amount of dust from the glaze in my basement
studio. My pieces are bisqued to cone 06 before
glazing. Will the freezing temperatures have any
effect on the glazes or the bisque?
