I guess the only drawback would be returning to a cover...uh covered...in snow. Will having snow sit on the car for a prolonged period be bad?

Default Cover it. Make sure the cover is *very clean*, and wash and wax your car prior to covering.

Obviously I'm referring to using the highest quality, custom-fit cover that is weatherproof yet let's the car "breathe" etc.

I wouldn't esp if you have a hard winter. Car covers are brutal on your paint when its windy. I'd leave it as is and give it a nice cleaning when youi get back.

Cover it. Just wash it and spray and wipe it down with detailer spray before covering it.
