Cold weather survival of sweet peppers.

What to do with my sweet pepper Plants and fruits? We have an overnight forecast of 3C (abt 37/38F) but we often get a degree or two cooler than predicted. Light frost can't be far away. Some peppers are still green, some beginning to turn. Should I harvest them all now or if I leave them on the plants will they continue to ripen?
I hope to overwinter a few plants, dormant indoors. How much cold will they suffer outside before dying? I want to leave them out as long as possible for the fruit to ripen.
