Winterizing in WI

Well unfortunately I left lovely California for the cold and ice of the North so I now have to put the car away

First off I don't have a garage, just a car cover, so I guess it will have to be stored outside...poor car. Any recommendations such as putting it on blocks or something?
Also I may keep it out until the first time they use salt on the roads, any recommendations for things I should check out on the car for the freezing temps?
stupid cold weather

I know.... I really hate leaving it outside even under a cover in the summer, but a poor broke college student has to do what a poor broke college student has to do....

Im gonna drive mine every chance i get. Lets pray for a snow free winter. Global warming will eventually destroy us but till then maybe it will mean warmer winters in WI. We can hope right?

U keep it outside, be prepared for our little "miceys" finding a new home!!!
Throw a mess of dryer sheets in engine bay and interior to help ward them off. This works great!!
