If you have an existing compost pile, just let it sit there under the
snow.
A lot of people have reported that their compost piles will emit steam
on
calm winter days. If you don't have one, I suppose you could just dump
your
left overs in the same spot all winter long, and let the stuff thaw in
the
spring, and start composting then.


Freezing will usually only happen when the pile is too wet. Keep some
dry materials next to the pile to add to it, and turn the pile
frequently.
