Cold weather building in New England

I plan to build through the winter months. Do I need to wait until warmer weather for the glassing of the boat, or will the use of the MAS preparations allow me to glass in the winter months? I will likely use an electric heater when actually building. Do I need to worry about the effect of temperature changes on the boat structure itself after leaving the garage? I would appreciate all cold weather warnings. Many thanks....Bob
