It should be okay on it's side. I'd cover up the openings with something 
but duct tape has two problems. First is if it freezes, it will fall off 
(there is a mil spec version of it that doesn't have this problem). The 
second is that it leaves a nasty mess. The green masking tape would be a 
better choice to avoid the mess but I'm not sure how it holds up to freezing.
