So, my thinking is to keep it covered by tarp outside, during snowy
part of the winter. The tarp will be held by rubber tiedowns. Will it
rust completely or is this a sound plan?

It will not rust "completely" for many years.

But seriously, while it would last longer indoors, many people,
including me, have them outside in the winter. There is less rust
going on when it is cold anyway.

How many years difference in life would it take for you to decide one
way or the other?
