Good question! The outside only rule applies to "bulk" tanks ONLY. Not individual one or two pound tanks.
The NFPA rules call for a maximum of two (2) one pound cannisters in a residence at any particular point in time. Empties should be EMPTY - put your torch head on the tank and open it wide open and either burn off the remaining gas, or let it escape outside - and disposed of promptly. In some communities they are considered hazardous waste, so be sure to contact your waste hauler to find out for sure.
Ventilation during the winter is indeed difficult, but not impossible. You should be exhausting the fumes and replacing that air with fresh from the outside air - there are a number of ways to do that, and are in many of the threads in this sub forum. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask!
