That would be iffy. If you'd be heartbroken to lose the plant, get it
inside.
By the way, here's a map of planting zones:

In the future, it would help to be specific about your location and
planting zone. Pennsylvania's like NY - a mix of zones based on terrain,
proximity to water, etc.
It's two zones. So tell me which zone of the two will allow geraniums to
overwinter outside?
Zone 5 - lows from -10 through -20 degrees
Zone 6- lows from 0 through - 10 degrees.
Actually, there are areas along the northern border near Western NY which
behave like zone 4, but you're not there so never mind. :-)
Neither one, unless you have absolute confidence in a certain area around
your house that's already a "mini-climate" of its own. For instance, you
might find that on the East side, near your foundation, certain things
survive which are not supposed to be hardy in your zone. I wouldn't risk
it with a prized plant, though.
So you were wrong when you first posted this advice?

information about WHERE in Pennsylvania, that's all anyone can say.
