Hi, Rusty,
Certainly if a freeze is expected, cover the peas. If temps stay below freezing for very long (hard to say exexactly what that means, but more than a passing overnight), you might lose the plants. Similarly, the plants can take a little snow … but clear it off and away from them as soon as you can. Overall, think of this as an experiment and take what you get. Remember, too, that we here in New Hampshire are envious of your even trying to grow this time of year.
