Based on the studies I read last summer (from such places as Cornell University) the blight will not survive freezing weather in a Tomato plant. Other plants like a potato will hold it over winter. This was the source of the potato famine they had in Ireland.
Moisture on the plant is bad. You will want to make sure the plants get lots of sun, so that the plants dry off as quickly as possible. Plant them far enough apart so that they have room to breathe.
