i have done what you speak of in the mountains in NY.....
my advice is dont try to battle mother nature when it comes to winter...
It was very difficult to start plants, or even bring a constant temp in the greenhouse. If you were able to keep a consistent temp of 78 deg or so then you would do just fine.
My green house was not air tight so as soon as there was a big winter breeze it would blow all the hot air out of the grow space. I was using a butene heater, so it got up to 80 deg in the greenhouse at certain points but i couldnt keep it like that with the equiptment i brought.
if you could actually keep the temperature constant during the day and night i would be amazed. I have heard of people doing what our talking about but they used wood burning stoves inside the greenhouse with a chimney...
