Does liquer freeze when you put it in the freezer?
I do believe that methanol is a type of alchol, with a freezing point way below 32*F...
I don't know exactly how much moisture will be in your methanol, which will influence the freezing point.
PS: I saw that you are in canada, depending upon how cold it gets in your part(I reckon too cold for me
), you may not want to keep the methanol in the car...
EDIT: On wikipedia, they say the freezing point is -97*C or 176K which is well below about -150*F

Methanol will freeze like every other liquid or gas in the universe, it just has to be -144 deg farenheit to do so, so unless you live in the arctic or antarctic you don't have anything to worry about.
They add methanol to windshield washer fluid to prevent it from freezing and to lower the freezing point of the ice stuck to your windshield
