Well, OK

I thought you had an open engine, heads off. If not, spray WD 40 into each cylinder and replace with a spark plug (glo plug). You won't get rust in a closed engine because there is really no air flowing through it. Put the valve cover on it and cover it up the best you can and try to keep the humidity down. Everytime you bring in a snow ice coverd car with a warm engine, you are adding some slight heat and humidity. Water dripping on the floor from the car is a big factor. It is this warmth and humidity floating around your very cold garage that causes the problem. So cover it up with old cloth, rags, carpets or throw carpets or old overcoats, but keep it covered.
