Cole, it is hard, but it is worth it for me. I also grow flowers, and we start them early, so they support the tomatoes, and make it possible to start them early. I also have trays of flowers in that greenhouse at times for over flow.
There is snow 4 feet up the sides of the GH's still where it slid off the roofs. The worst thing this year has been the cold, many 0 to -10 nights. Worse yet, the wind has been bad this year, many days and nights of 20-60 mile an hour gusts. The plants have suffered, but I do see some cold tolerance in some lines, so that is noted. Good luck this year, I noticed you have had your share of weather too.

Patti, In AK many people just block off the north-ish walls, we get plenty of light. There are some flowers behind, and a bench with HPS light for growing and planting up tomato seedlings after they are sprouted inside. Right now the other GH's are all flowers until June, then I move in more tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, green beans, etc.
