Cool. I'm in school in Ithaca as well. I've left my car here in the cold and snow for about 2-3 winters.
My car is about 7 years old now, and it has never failed to start after winter.
Some things to take note of:
1) Alarms. If your car has an alarm, it will most probably have a flat battery.
2) If your battery has ever gone flat before, it'll probably go flat after winter.
3) DO NOT leave your parking brake on. After a summer or winter of just sitting there, there's a good chance the brakes will rust and stick.
4) Fill your gas tank up before you leave. Water might condense inside your tank if you don't.
5) Take out the main fuse or the battery if you don't feel safe. I find that the fuse is easier than the battery, though i usually don't do either.
