Great containers everyone! We use a fair number of ceramic containers. Most are emptied and stored under our outdoor flats bench, some in the garage. The really large ones I just move far enough to be clear of snow removal and tip them on their sides for the winter, they don't seem to be affected by the cold as long as they aren't full of wet potting mix. One of our favorite colors is cobalt blue, I'd like to get 2 of the taller ones yet.
