While we dont have MI weather it still gets pretty nasty here in the mid atlantic (last week in the upper 60's not counting, lol). I dont have an A, but I do have a classic in the garage. I have a custom fit car cover so its pretty easy to put it on and take it off in a pinch. As long as the roads are clear I will drive it. They salt pretty heavy here as soon as it starts to snow but usually a good rainstorm will clear that off the road.
I have a very large shop, 65' x 30' which doesn't have heat yet, so when it gets to the dead of winter I am grounded in the house. I started cooking and baking last year to fight off the boredom. A friend gave me a large scale model of my car I am currently working on and if it ever gets cold here I may start that. I am the type of person that has to work with my hands and keep busy, I dont have the patience to read a book. A magazine is about all I can handle and after about an hour I am done with those.
