Hood up, in case the roof starts leaking, with both front windows slightly open for *some* ventilation. But leaving it for the whole of the winter isn't a good idea, there are usually some days when you can get it out, or at the very least run the engine at a fast idle (throttle pedal wedged not choke partially pulled) for 20 mins or so with the heater on full blast.
