Resin fountain what to do for winter?

I just bought a resin cherub fountain about 40" high, i connected the pump but did not plug it in or fill it with water, i placed it outside and it looks swell, but now im wondering if it shouldnt be placed outside for the winter? it is resin and im not sure how resin behaves when frozen or in a snowstorm. it can get down to 5 degrees here at night (pennsylvania)
anyone know?
thanks a bunch |

| I have found out over the years that all resin is not created equal. I have some that I paid a bigger price for but it has been outside year round several years & still looks great. On the other hand, I have some that split the first winter. I would not chance it if I were you. Seems to me that the resin that has a solfter feel is what holds up better.....by softer feel I mean it is smoother. Betty |

I always spray all my resin with a clear sealer before putting it outside. My first one taught me this. All the colors had faded. None have since I started spraying them. I'd bring it inside if possible. It'll last longer.
