Most likely I will zip through it with the blower early and then if it gets a little sun it will melt it clean so I don't end up with a skating rink when the sun goes down.
See ya . I'm out too

I'm just talking about wrenching the crank to see that it is not seized.

Yep, I've got 80 lbs of salt left from last year that will make sure there is no ice left from this little storm.
I'm trying to conserve it though, I have a feeling it's going to be a long snowy winter.
80 lbs of salt will make lots of margaritas! Will keep you nice and warm on those cold nights/days

I'd just pull the plugs, spray WD40 in the cylinders and wait until Spring to try to turn it. No reason to try cranking and bust a ring now. I also think that engine has solid lifters which means some of the valves have been open and rusting. I wouldn't try to turn it until I took it apart and inspected everything. 5 minutes of running and you will burn those valves unless they are lapped in first.
10+ years of sitting and I would take it really slow so as not to do damage uneccesarily.
She's an old lady who has been sitting a long time...don't try to make her run without a full check out first.

Yes, definitely get some lube in cylinders. I'm just thinking if it turns without too much effort by hand - bring it around once or twice to run the lube over the cylinder walls. Repeat the process a couple times a year until the Dart is done or the dinosaurs come back and take over the planet.
Morning to all and a good morning to you!
To all and you a good morning as I sip my coffee and count my blessing this morning
Hey Mike you get any of that snow down there?
No snow here Hop's, cold and windy just the way I don't like it 
How many times have I told myself that.
Nothing to speak of here, other than that same as you have.
He needs to add "this year"
Looks like the snow is done according to radar. 5.5" here on the ground.
Nothing I like better doing on a Sunday than clearing snow from the driveway and sidewalks.
I have a nurse for that.
