Running Refrigerator In Cold Weather?

Any problem pre-cooling the refrigerator in below freezing weather? I'm heading to Florida Friday for Spring Training, and turned on the refrigerator today to get nice and cold while plugged in. It's 48 degrees now, but, alas, Thursday brings snow and cold. Should have left earlier!

    Correct, but "just freezing" is probably not cold enough to do so.
