Bring It Out of Storage?

I've been itching to get the Z out of storage and start enjoying it. I keep reading all these posts about people who are out driving and enjoying their cars. But in the upper midwest I prefer to remove the insurance and put it away for the winter.

This coming week it's suppose to get in the upper 60s, which sounds wonderful. But if anyone knows upper midwest weather, sunny and warm one day below zero and a blizzard the next. When I get it out of storage I can't put it back, plus I need to insure it once I start driving it. I don't want to be paying insurance on a car just sitting in the garage because there's now a foot of snow on the roads.

So, bring it out and take the chance the weather will stay nice? Or wait until April when the likelihood of snow is small?

I say drive the hell out of it but this is obviously your call. The weather in MD is here to stay I think, we never really had a winter anyway.
