The concern would be long periods below freezing. Hard on the battery, which is called upon to power security system etc even when the car is not being used. I'd consider a trickle charger for the battery during the whole storage period as well as a block heater prior to starting if the temp is below -10C or so.
Tires are likely to be lumpy for the first few miles after you get it out.
Also, don't park the car after a short trip. Make sure the engine has been at full temp awhile before parking it - you want to make sure any moisture has had a change to get purged from the exhaust system.
