Record low temps forecasted tonight - upper 40s

I have lots of baby tomatoes and bell peppers out there, and flowers on my pepperoncini, beans and cukes. What will these temps mean for them? I'm assuming that the size of the plants means I can't really do much about them, as far as covering them goes. I do have the ability to cover the bed w/ the bell peppers and beans - is it worth the hassle?

Upper 40's? They'll make it. It may shock them a bit and cause to fruit/blossom drop, but they should survive.
