Heather, Above ground, plastic, -20º. I don't think I'd chance it.
My pond is in-ground, dug out and a pond liner. I keep the pump running all winter, with the waterfall running. There have been some winters where the pond has been completly iced over and I could see the waterfall still running under the ice. I have native fish from a farmers pond, bluegills, a few others and frogs, the frogs bury them selves in the muck at the bottom, and the fish go to the waterfall end of the pond.

My daughter had a small above ground pond and she bought some gold fish and wintered them in a aquarium in her house over winter. Just an idea for you.

Here is a picture of my pond.
