As DMGINC had said you'll be fine for one day. My dad has his 2010 Challenger SRT8 and 2006 Monte Carlo SS on jacks all winter long. You actually can place them under the suspension and you will be fine.

I thought the oil pan was a good lift point?

May be off...
Can you use one of the inflatable bladders to lift the car? Without the ground effects of course.
