I was thinking I would probably wait till the beginning of April and hope to see some rain clean the salt of the roads. We are usually good for a couple of March snow storms in Minnesota.
Hi,

Anything over steady 40° F Temps is OK for the mechanicals. But, since preservation is a large part of why I store my car(s) through the winter, I always wait until the spring rains wash away all the road salt before bringing it out. What's the point in storing it to protect it from salt, if you take it out too early and get the underside all salted up anyway?...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
