I have a 88 AE that sits in a warehouse. Sometimes it goes a month or two without being started. I know i should start it more often; but i have not had any problems with rotors freezing up. So in your case a couple weeks isnt going to hurt anything.

Up to the roof in snow? Damn that sucks. It would be great if you had a remote starter/kill switch and you could actually fire it up. It would make for a damn good thread.
A car being kept in a warehouse and another up to the roof in snow is a pretty big difference. If it was my car I would be digging down to the rear hatch and get in it and try to get it started.
But then again us Texan's are not experts in the area of dealing with snow Good luck bro.

Hey, couple weeks ago, it actually did snow in Texas... granted, it only lasted until sun up. My car had been sitting for over a year until I finally got around to starting it. I did do the ATF treatment on it, though.

I have left my vert as long as 8 months without starting it. Each time I come back to it I just do the unflooding process to start it.
It sits through cold Alaskan winters BTW.
