So far any evidence points to row covers helping.
Has anyone done a long term study on this effect?
Back in March of 16 I noticed the temp. issue as well. I said this:

This morning I noticed the temp. in the GH was 40. The outside temp was 45.

When I first heard about this, I wrongly assumed it had to do with wind being sealed out, and not bringing in warm temps. I recall leaving the end door open one night, walking in and the moment I crossed the "threshold" you could feel the temp. change.
After that, I started leaving the sides rolled up. Problem solved. Or, use backup heat.
Either way, a real solution would be nice.
