Mine (for the 140 vert) have been wrapped up in plastic for about 3 or 4 
years now.  I don't take the vert out till after the 2nd good rain in the 
spring.  By then, it is usually warm enough that it is not a concern.  I 
also tend to use the Rampside (110 and shrouds on) till the weather is warm 
enough to put the top down.  My minimum temp there is 60F.
