Default Frozen padlock

I have a Masterlock padlock on my storage shed. Discovered much to my
dismay the keyhole was frozen over. Not the nicest situation when the
snow thrower is sitting behind that locked door!

Any real world recommendations for outdoor padlocks less likely to
become frozen? Or hints on weatherproofing the current one?

Water getting inside the lock not as much a problem a the water which
froze and sealed the keyhole.
