So... who said you need to winterize?

They’re playing with you. Propane boils at -40c so when you vent your tank you’ll drop to around that temp.

But for real, you’ve got some homework to do if you want to operate safety .

Big truths ITT. Propane is amazing for self cooling. Back in ye’ olden days I would just loop my solvent tanks vapor line through the recovery compressor/heat exchanger and push back into the tank a cold liquid. That added with the evaporative cooling from dropping head pressure in the tank would rocket that thing down to -30 easily.

You can also leave that loop open and boil water, let it vent out the outlet
