Are you planning to drive it? Or let it sit during the winter season?

Plan a nice cold, dry day to get it to a self car wash, get the ice and snow off before you cover it up if you are not driving it.

If it's not a DD, wait for the next thaw. Dry well and cover it up.

If it's a DD, carefully remove what you can without touching the paint and then go to a car wash and use warm water to remove the rest. Dry well and cover it up.

If you don't have a cover, a good coat of wax will help with future snow/ice removal.
