Planted Snap Peas and the ground froze

Okay, so I know I've jumped the gun, but I planted snap peas yesterday and we got colder than forecasted last night and the ground froze. Anyone know if this will kill the seed? I have real sandy soil and it was froze to just about the depth I planted them. It's already thawed, but I'm curious if I should just start over.

they should be fine, my snow peas got down to 21 and still germinated fine. when its that cold they simply just don't grow much if at all. then when it warms up they jump back into action.
