   others will know better than me, but my in experience not much   
   decomposition happens in the winter even during thaws. prior to this   
   year i was topping off the barrels with leaf mold and semi-rotten straw   
   and most of it was there in the spring which then got turned into the   
   soil when it thawed.   
      
   i wouldn't use freezer space to store the grounds, i'd just dump them in   
   the garden beds and turn it in when working the soil when it thaws. most   
   of it will still be there when you get the shovel out.   
      
   i do still consider myself a gardening noob, so those are just my   
   thoughts and i'm quite capable of wrongthink so tread carefully. lol.
