However all toilets need to be vented as the air is displaced when the waste enters the filter basin. Venting indoors requires me to run a vent stack to the sky. So here lies my problem 0 degree temperatures dropping down ontop of the worms.

Dear Chuck--

This may be simplistic, but how about putting a hinged pot-lid on your vent stack? You may have to attach a penny or two as a counterweight, but if you get the lid to lift open with a slight positive pressure from below, it should work just fine-- keeping normally in the closed position. This is how they solve the problem with furnace vents.
