Answer
Carl, did you happen to notice if there was evidence of fluid leakage under the car?  If so, there's a good chance that hydraulic fluid has leaked from either the clutch master or slave cylinders.

Here's the full list of likely causes for your limp pedal:

1.  Master or slave cylinder faulty.
2.  Clutch hydraulic hose or pipe leaking.
3.  Connections leaking.
4.  No fluid in reservoir*
5.  Broken release bearing or lever.

Because you described the issue in terms of winter storage, I'd be more inclined to consider lack of fluid for various  reasons rather than a mechanical failure like a broken release bearing or lever.

*  Your clutch shares hydraulic fluid with the brake system.  If the brake reservoir is low, it could be a clutch or brake issue.  If you add fluid, bleed the clutch slave cylinder (hidden up behind the starter...so the starter has to be removed to bleed it), and then the clutch acts normally, that's a good thing.  Then you have to examine all the hydraulic lines and connections to see why the fluid was so low.

If you have any follow-up questions, please feel free to contact me again.
