Not so sure that sucking in -30 air into my skimmer would work so good. Not to mention my sump is in a room in my basement with no windows and I am reluctant to start punching holes in the concrete for the skimmer.  Unplugging the pH probe for the winter may be the way to go.

I've mine plumbed through a window and added a filter on the outside to keep bugs from plugging it up (happened this summer and it overflowed   ) 
You can see my filter here  2nd pic 
It's just a breather filter for a carbureted V8 |
