Default Rust concerns

Anybody live in snowy climates? I ask because I live in Florida atm, but will be moving to Colorado soon. Has anybody had any rust issues yet?

YES!!

Although we only average 20" of snowfall along the coast my MO is subject to salt corrosion year-round.

My MO is parked outdoors about 150' from a saltwater bay. A northeast wind can churn up whitecaps and blow the saltwater mist onto land coating everything within a few hundred feet.

The underside of the MO has rust wherever bare metal is exposed. The oil pan is severely rusted. I purchased a new one a few months ago and am waiting for my next oil change to replace it.

I have seen ocean/salt breeze doing some real rust damage real fast just by living near the beach and parking outside.

You'll have more rust issues in coastal FL that you will up north. I've never had a rust issue and have always been in the northeast.
