I personally have a 32A JuiceBox installed outside my garage. It has been through several Syracuse winters which sound similar to your climate (typically teens to 20s in mid winter but occasionally dropping below zero, to -20 or so. Lots of snow!)

The JuiceBox is plugged into a NEMA 14-50 outlet and exposed to all weather. It still works great - I’ve had no problems with it.

I second this although I live in Maryland. Got our Juicebox installed March 2021 and had zero problems. Sometime we charge in the garage sometimes out. No problems charging in all types of weather.

I really like the plug-in factor since in theory we can take the charger with us, if we ever travel to a ‘far off land.’ As long as they have the NEMA 14-50 outlet we are good to go.

Mine is in the garage, about halfway down a side wall, which leaves me about 8 feet of cable in front of the garage door. I put a second holster outside the door, so I can just back in and charge without needing to move anything around inside the cluttered garage. But with the sudden change to a wintry forecast, I decided to order a boot for the charging port. H/t to @figbat and @Sushi over on the UK MINIF56 forum for leading me to the cheap, magnetized boot on Amazon.
 
Was Juice box the one that got ran over it by a truck, thrown it into the snow, sprayed with water, was used at -20 -40F to demonstrate the flexibility of the charging cable, used in a couple Canadian outdoor events, dunked in a lake ...... or was that the Grissl-E 40A marketing? :)
