I live in CT, so my car goes away at the first talk of snow, usually Late Oct, early Nov. The issue isn't snow or if the roads are dry. The issue is the ice melt they pour all over the roads. It is extremely corrosive, when it dries, it becomes a powder, so the dust goes everywhere and coats everything. You can almost hear it munching on your car, lol. I have a truck, the car is my summer toy.
It kills me to leave the car sitting and not drive it, but when I pull it out in the Spring, it's all worth the wait. Plus, if you have a warm day, 40 deg or so, it gives you the time to install some of the mods you've been buying over the winter.
Fresh oil change, full detail in and out, fill tank, add stabilizer, pump up tires to 40 - 45 lbs, dryer sheets around and inside car, steel wool in the exhaust pipes and pull the battery (no power in garage) and store in the basement. Last but not least, throw the car cover on and be amazed five months later at the pop of color when you pull it off. I don't have a mouse problem, but use the dryer sheets, steel wool and set some mouse traps just in case, better safe than sorry. They can wreck your day in no time.
