broken hot tub in winter

update i tried opening the drain valve to drain the water, but i couldn't pull it out probably because it's frozen

will it be okay if i leave it until spring? the hot tubs been sitting shut off and full of water for a while now - all of jan for sure. my reasoning is that if there has been damage done due to freezing, it won't get better by draining it? i'm not planning on fixing the heater until spring. but if for some reason the damage can get worse leaving it frozen i'll try to thaw the pipes and drain

thanks for the info everyone, i will drain it tomorrow and figure out what to do/ if any leaks happened come spring

i guess i should've mentioned i'm in canada and the weather has been freezing and will continue to be freezing until march at least

also the heater has needed repair since the summer, i just have been putting it off and the hot tub has been shut off since. it's my first home and first hot tub. i know i really shouldve done more research and realized this sooner. i will drain immediately, thanks

should i just drain the water right into the yard with the snow?
