Feb is usually the worst month here in the chi as far as weather goes.. it is usually in the negatives or low teens. And we always get hit with a **** load of snow.

I always take my car out at the end of March or sometime in April. that way all the snow is melted, no more salt and at least the temps are warmer

I'm dropping mine off in March for a cam install and other goodies. Other than that, it will go in the garage until May. April still sucks.

Early April if all the salt is gone, give or take a couple weeks.
