Yup, Paul got it right. Start car, drive away.
Keep in mind that modern cars are meant to start and drive in a broad range of temperatures. Your engine really hasn't got much colder over the coarse of a couple of months than it would have by sitting on the curb at 0F overnight. Same recipe as always, drive it gently until operating temperatures are reached.
And nooo, don't start and let it idle for a couple of minutes when it is in storage. The moisture buildup in the engine will be horrible and your oil will turn into mayonnaise. Best investment for winter storage is a battery maintainer.
