I'll tell you what I did: I transplanted my Early Girl Bush Hybrid tomatoes because of an insane forecast. And this one single Italian Ice tomato plant (I have another I'm gonna wait to transplant in case this one goes kill). 2 days of cool nights to come followed by warm weather. My hope is that the plants almost eat shit and die the next 2 nights and then they come out hardened off really well when the warm nights for the next 2+ weeks give them a chance to grow and recover.
Soil temperature is 55 degrees in the coolest spots and 62 in the warmest, websites say not to transplant until the night time temperature is 55 minimum but that's complete bs. In my area even in July the average night time temps are only low to mid 50s, my tomatoes did amazingly once it got around to June last year.
I'm doing everything I can to keep these alive, last year I had so fucking many transplants that I almost intentionally let some of them die, although some of them really didn't want to.

I remember people using plastic milk jugs to protect them.

That's what I use for my artichokes.
