We could argue forever about what the critical climate conditions are that would definitely require winterizing. It comes down to these two options:
1) Do nothing and constantly watch the weather forecast to see if it is going to freeze, leave an unattended heater going which costs money, poses a fire risk and may not sufficiently heat all areas. You can then spend the wintering wondering if your lines have frozen.If they do, it will be a nightmare.
