winter storage

Cold-weather item holding

Winter storage is the practice of keeping items protected during cold months when they're not in use.

Boats, motorcycles, and convertibles go into winter storage; so do summer clothes and patio furniture.

The term also applies to root vegetables and preserves kept through winter: The cellar was full of potatoes and apples in winter storage.
