According to the forecast minimum temperature is 5 deg tonight so should not freeze - i expect the majority of snow to have melted by tomorrow. but why will any water be in the engine - when i recover the boat - i flushing the engine first on the slip for 5 mins with muffs - i then take a further 10 mins washing down the rest of the boat/trailer/hubs etc... surely during those 10 mins with the engine still vertical any water will have drained. I prefer to store like this as the engine hood is protected from the elements.
i would agree that if it has been vertical for a while then the water should have drained out so you should be fine
i always keep mine vertical for some strange reason
