If you park on the street, that nice idea wouldn't work too well.

I've read into car covers. Unfortunately, they are incapable of handling our weather. It would simply sink with the amount of weight the snow creates.

It's only -16 C right now. Just bought a new battery 8 days ago shurestart to -45C =D

Have to be sure it can bear the snow loading tho'. The Quonset hut style typically does better.

At least get a quality microfiber (aka Gore-tex) cover.

Snow and ice is very heavy. It will get that material wet, then leak.

Use the silicone spray from camping outdoors for tents and boots.

It will still leak after a while. months, years?

Real hard to beat mother nature.

Although Obama said we are causing global warming in his state of the union address.

So... listen to him. He says we can stop it with his Green Jobs.

Oh, while your at it... ignore the Supreme Court.
