Can I Cut My Huge Geranium In Half Before Wintering Over?

I have 2 geraniums in large pots outside and I winter them over each year. They are massive and I would like to cut each one in half and end up with 4 plants in pots. Is this possible and when should I do it?

Dividing them is possible, but I would wait until spring. They divide well during the active growing season. You can take cuttings, as well. Here are a couple of articles that will help:
