I agree with Swimdaddy. Protect your pump and pipes from freezing.
I haven't closed yet either... Working on it though.

Re: Going below freezing: should I run the pump
You'd be surprised at how difficult it is to get this stupid thing closed. Every damn time I have trouble disconnecting the hoses, and I've already drained the pool, so there's no hope of running the pump, it's going below freezing that night, I panic and just about tear the skin off my hands trying to get them off!
Everybody into the puel!
Re: Going below freezing: should I run the pump
I am with you, especially in the cold. Nothing worse than sticking your arm in the freezing cold water either. That is why I have tried everywhere I can to go to quick release fittings, they usually can be loosened by hand. Some strap wrenches or filter wrenches help too, and some elbow length rubber gloves for reaching in the water.
