For just 2 months ... That's not a long time. I would not waste my time doing it.
On the other hand, I have stored my C6 for 7 months at a time when traveling overseas. Then I usually put about 40 PSI in the tires before leaving.

Just gotta know .... Why is tire over inflation a "touchy subject" in New England?

If you're not driving it, it really doesn't matter as long as it isn't extremely low.
Putting some extra air in there is just added insurance to make up for losing a little over time. I leave it at the same pressure as it when I'm driving it and just periodically check it.
Also flat spotting should not be an issue with a modern good quality tire.

With the good quality of tires these days, there is no need to have to over inflate. They can easily sit several months as is. As soon as the car comes out and starts rolling again they will be back to normal.
