I should have been more clear. I have a carport style garage. It is not enclosed. It is an older Town Home style setup converted to a condo complex. Either way, the bike will be exposed to extreme colds in the winter. I do not have enclosed garage storage. I can park the bike in the current 'garage' space I park my truck but that will do nothing to alleviate the cold. Snow will also get in. I will be covering it either way.

Was just looking for general advice from people who have had their bike stored in the cold while not riding.

My bike stayed in the carport for the first two years with a good breathable cover, since it wasn't getting wet under the roof, against the wall. Because the cover was breathable, the bike never "sweated."
Since then, she's got her own shed. Because I live in NC where salt is a rarity, ( just a brine solution a couple of times per season,) there is little corrosion and the bike takes me to work every day year round unless there is snow on the roads, ( and that was just once last year.)

I saw a clever inflatable shelter somewhere once. It had a small compressor that not only kept the structure inflated, it also circulated the air inside the bubble.
I'll see if i can find it.
