Accuweather is forecasting a Polar Vortex to bring very cold weather to quite a bit of the country in early April - just a few days from now.
Watch out for your refrigerator's ice maker water feed line. If outside temperatures go below freezing, and you have water in the line, you will have damage to the poly tubing and exterior drain valve (if you have one). If you haven't de-winterized yet, it might pay to wait a few days.
If there's water in the feed line, keep an eye on the weather in your area. You may need to evacuate the water from the ice maker feed line and close the cutoff valve. Keep in mind that official forecasts are usually at airports or other public facilities and can be quite different from the actual temperatures at your location.
This applies to all types of refrigerators with water feed lines. Residential Refrigerator Guide. Winterization Guide.
