Seriously, I was wondering if it was a New Englandism for =E2=80=9Cdamp =
storage area=E2=80=9D=E2=80=A6

I am assuming this shop is unheated. I would think a light, breathable =
cover would be appropriate, just to keep shop debris off the paint. =
Windows should be cracked open. Maybe some of those moisture-absorbing =
packets distributed in the interior. If you are not actually working in =
the shop, you could take the cover off and open the windows (assuming no =
rodents are in residence).

My MGB spends all winter in an open carport under one of those silver =
sun-resistant covers, which really doesn=E2=80=99t breathe at all, with =
the hardtop on and the windows cracked open. But it does get driven from =
time to time, and of course California winter is nothing like Rhode =
Island winter.
