How do I label jars that have been in the refrigerator?.

Are there any labelers (preferably electronic) where the labels will stick to refrigerated glass but be possible to remove later?
I have a Dymo LetraTag labeler. The labels don't stick to much that's room temperature, and they certainly don't stick to glass jars that have been in the refrigerator. Are there any labelers that have labels that do? It must be reasonably easy to remove the labels when done, so the jar can be reused for something else later. The labels must also stick to plastic bags that will be kept in the freezer, but it seems like anything that will fulfill the previous should also do that with no problems.
I would prefer an electronic model to the kind where you have to spin the wheel and press through each letter, if possible, but if that's the only kind that will satisfy the above, that's fine too. Other suggestions that do not involve writing on the jars with some sort of pen or pencil are welcomed.

Response by poster: jamaro, it sounds like you've stuck labels to things, and then put them in the fridge. Do they also stick to a jar that's been in the fridge, removed, labeled, and returned to the fridge?

There is a product made specifically for your dilemma. The DaysAgo digital timers use magnets or suction cups to stick onto your containers and keep track of how many days your products have been open/in your fridge.

Oops, I kind of assumed that your purpose is to keep tabs on freshness. Oh well. You might still find the timers useful. :o)
For labeling: Medical tape (the kind used to make your own bandages) sticks to just about anything. And, of course, it comes off again. Write on it with a fine-point Sharpie.

Put masking tape on the jar, and attach the dymotape to that.
