Opportunity winter survival?



Amazingly enough, it's that time of year again on Mars. I've seen a
number of hints as to how to get Spirit into position to survive the
upcoming winter by spending it on a properly-tilted slope. But
Opportunity seems to have far fewer... opportunities. The last winter,
it stayed on the correct side of a sharply angled crater, but it looks
to have far fewer such options now.
So has anyone seen any speculation on how (or if?) Opportunity will
survive the Martian winter?
