Unsolicited winterizing tips.
Either try to take the PT out once a month or so for a spin to fully warm things up and keep it charged.
Or if you want to avoid the snow and salt, I suggest that you get a small battery charger and charge it every other week or so for several hours. If you have to leave the car outside I'd try to bring the battery inside and store it on a block of wood not on the concrete. In an attached garage don't bother. Fill the fuel tank so there is no room for moisture. Slightly over fill your tires so that if you have a really slow leak you won't have a flat in the spring. Do an oil change so you don't have old oil with corrosive stuff in it.
Most important, get the crackers out from under the the seat so mickey and friends don't use your car for a winter time B&B.
