Never install an outlet on an exterior wall if you live in an area
prone to outdoor freezing. The reason is that the wires will freeze

And the electricity will be cold, and less powerful.
No, it will be more powerful. Right around absolute zero, the wires will
become superconductors. You should be able to run 150 amps or so on some
26 AWG wire. That's why you can't put an outlet on an exterior wall; the
wire is too fine for the poke-in springy thing to grab.
