Keeping meat frozen outside in 20 degree weather

image

We lost power about 49 hours ago, during a big ice storm. Had 2 freezers of meats (hamburger, chicken tenders, chicken breasts, beef roast, stew meat, boneless pork chops, 1 whole turkey). We put them in totes and moved them outside. All the meat still seems to be frozen. And no end in sight for the power outage. As long as the meat doesn't thaw, will it be okay?

Frozen is frozen.

You should be careful to keep the totes of frozen food shaded, as sun exposure could cause localized heating in the totes even at below-freezing air temperatures. And you'll have to hope you get power back before the weather warms.
