Storing the car for winter =(
I wouldn't start it up that often. And I would let it run longer than 5 minutes. You want the engine to warm up to operating temps. If possible, drive it around.
Or get a battery tender and let it sit for the whole winter. Change the oil before and fill up the gas tank.

well with snow in the forecast for overnight tonight, it is time to pretty much start prepping my car to be garaged for the next 4-5months.
I plan to basically start her up once a week and idle for like 5minutes or so just so the car doesnt literally just veg there without any activity once winter is finally here
. would that be a good idea though in regards to just letting it idle?
but with temps hitting -30 degrees C is once a week good enough or maybe even too much? what do you guys think??

Also, if possible move it a bit to prevent the tires from developing flat spots
