Zone 4...dahlias inside or on porch?

I'm starting my dahlias indoors, and last year I kept them in my dining room until it got warmer out. I have them now on our enclosed porch which gets great light and heat during the day, but chillier than our house at night...

...should I get them out of the porch? If so, when could they go back out on the porch?

Thanks!

The enclosed porch sounds great, unless it freezes. They don't mind cool, but don't like COLD ( aka freezing ). The more natural light, the better, I would think.
