This is from another thread from by an expert in the "field".

If I was buying tubers in January I would probably keep them somewhere dark and cool.
I think the ideal think would be to store them in some dry peat and then 6 weeks before you want to plant then I would place them on a North facing window.
Here is a link to an article about chitting http://www.nvsuk.org.uk/growing_show_vegetables_1/chitting-sprouting-potatoes.php

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I'll bet - you've had the worst of the weather up there so far, and it's been taters enough down here!  :D
