rna storage at -20 - (Oct/09/2009 )

Hi
Is it possible to store purified RNA for short times (1-2 days) at -20? I know -80 is the best storage condition but some times I dont have access to that.
regards

Clean RNA can be stored at -20 for months. I keep my RNAs for 2-3 days at +4 without degradation... I never put a RNA in a -80 !
