My baby is stranded!!
My roomate and I drove down the street to eat some dinner tonight and upon arrival I stepped out to fiddle with the wiper door..then shut the door, forgetting to grab my keys 
So we walked back to the house - both busting our asses on the ice in the process - looked for my spare...couldnt find it All the locksmiths are closed because of the icey roads So I walked back to the restaurant and put my cover over her poor and - by this time - icey body and made sure the place wouldnt have it towed.
bad night.

That actually makes me cringe.I drive my vette all year long too. Usually not when it's wet or snowy/icy though. or at least not yet. okay maybe once.

No need for a locksmith, Someone will open her up tonight for you, but you may have to find her first before you bring her back home.
For your insurance, I do not think a cover is the same thing as a locked garage.
If I could not find my extra keys, I would be sleeping in the car tonight or have it towed here in Houston.

Mike, your lucky you left it there, there were over 750 accidents in Austin that night, due to the ice. Took me 1-1/2 hours Thursday morning to go 18 miles. Fortunatly, Corvette owners are smarter than the average bear, and didn't drive them in the icy conditions. Our body-shop has not had a collision call due to the ice storm....yet...
