I am leaving for the winter. The temperature gets below 0 degrees and sometimes -20. I have an outside storage shed with steel walls and roof, wood floor and no insulation. Just an average shed. I have 3 tv's, a DVD surround sound combo, and more. Can I store them in the shed without them being damaged? I have a Tahoe, I was going to put all the electronics in there because I am leaving the Tahoe here, will that work considering the weather? I can't leave them in my house! Any Ideas???

The temp shouldn't hurt them (unless maybe a TV is an LCD), but hungry rodents sometimes like to chew on wire insulation. Inside the Tahoe should work fine, but it may get attacked for its wires, too. If there are any batteries, you'll want to remove them from the devices to prevent freezing damage to them.
When you take them back inside, let them acclimate a day to the higher temperature before plugging them in and turning them on. The temperature shock could do physical damage and condensation could cause some shorts.

You don't want to store any electronics is an unheated space. Unless you are in a very arid climate, as the temperature warms and cools, condensation takes place and water will condense inside the equipment, causing corrosion. With the very small conductors in todays electronics, it doesn't take much to destroy a path. I have seen this happen too many times.
