Skimmer leave for the winter?

Hey All
I have a skimmer and airator in my pond, do I take it out over winter? I have no fish, in fact the pond is really clear now, there is little wildlife in it! Cheers

with no fish or sensitive wildlife, no problem taking anything out for the winter. If you have plants, i.e. water lilies and you're afraid the water might freeze down to their level, I'd leave the aerator in as it'll keep the ice from getting that thick. Same for most in-pond plants.
