You're talking a very short time period. My cars have always been stored from late Oct/early Nov until April. Fill gas tank about 3/4 or so with quality fuel (no ethanol preferred)...higher the octane, the better. Place battery on a maintainer-do not disconnect, as you will lose all info in the ECU and reset to default; ECU will need to re-learn all settings and become "ready" in the emissions cycle. Tires don't flat spot anymore in that short of time, but a slight over-inflation doesn't hurt. Fresh oil is preferred, as older oil contains contaminants just sitting with moisture that doesn't get burned off. Make sure car is clean if you are going to cover it.

As Perfectlap indicated, there are many posts covering this topic over the years if you do a search.
