Why not? Best time to do prolonged service items as you cannot use the car anyway, so waiting for parts is not a concern.........

As JFP and others have said, if not driving, just don't start--at all. You are just diluting the oil.

I put snows on my Cayman and drive her during the winter. I put the Box away around Thanksgiving and get her out in late Mar. No battery tender. Somewhere in between those dates I'll take the Box out for a 30 min drive when the roads are dry.

I start either one and drive right away, keeping revs below 3K until they warm up.
