I've stored vehicles over winters before on jack stands but always leave a bit of weight on the tires/wheels, I put a piece of plywood or similar under each wheel so they don't stick to the garage floor and leave marks. A breathable car cover with a soft interior that doesn't scratch would be nice too, keeps the dust and dirt out of the inside. Best if you put the cat out for the winter though. They tend to want to snuggle into and scratch up the nice seat material while hiding under the car cover. Don't forget some gas treatment for the tank if you aren't going to drive it, plus fill it all the way up so no moisture collects inside, drain the oil and fill with fresh oil too. Also good idea to remove the battery completely and put it on a solar battery tender. And, in the spring, drain the brakes and refill with fresh brake fluid. (probably over kill).
Over here, we put 'em on jack stands so the monsoon floods won't reach the bearings.
