Actually, you'll have a different, less annoying problem. Alot of
water condenses on cold lego. I forgot and left a bucket of pieces in
my trunk for about a month this winter and when I finally brought them
inside, there was about a half inch of water from the repeated warming
and cooling. (Here in Missouri, we've had a very erratic winter,
freezing some days, 50 or 60 F degrees others.
