In my experience, the hotter the chile the better it does in a cool climate.
Thus, in general, most NuMexs have done better than Poblanos, and, of large
pod types, 'Garden Salsa' (from ToughLove), has done the best.  It is too
hot as a base for green chile, but works well for rellenos (just tone down
the sauce), and grows great in cooler weather.
