We just went through the same thing with a cold snap that was very late in the season and lasted several days - but it did break and the weather did warm up and I expect yours will soon too.

Speaking of nibbling, after losing my first batch of celeriac to Lord knows what, 3/4 of the seedlings in the second batch were gobbled up by the resident woodchuck.
