Default stored apples and a mystery

Allingtons Pippins are supposed to be good till Dec but are still going
strong (which is fortunate since I had over 100lbs). One or two are
beginning to rot from inside, but I reckon I'll get another 3-4 weeks.


Brownlees Russet and Cornish Aromatic are keeping very well, but they
are supposed to keep till March.


I think mine are keeping well this year because the wet summer meant
they were late to develop and the mild autumn meant I picked them late,
In the apple tree mind it's probably still mid December ;-)

I had the same weather conditions and mine don't seem to be keeping as
well as normal. Where do you store yours? And as you're obviously
knowledgeable about apples, do you have the solution to my mystery?
