I had to look at the weather website, and still can't believe that it says
-13F (but it does!) Has it EVER been that cold in your area?

I would think that a very heavy mulch would help, maybe even a temporary
plastic covering on top. Your ground temperature should still be fairly safe
for a few days, if you can keep the heat from escaping.

Keep us posted on what happens.
