If we get snow and it looks like it might be a few days before the streets are clean enough to take her out, I'll plug in the CTEK. My garage is well insulated and stays pretty warm, but if we have a serious cold spell, I'll slide in some wheel chocks and release the e-brake. I'll also release the top with the handle to relieve the tension on the top mechanism.

One other note: I swap over to winter tires as well. I don't like to drive summer rubber when the temps are less than 50 degrees.
Releasing tension to top mechanism of convertible top sounds like an idea ill add to my list
