This sounds crazy but I have heard citrus growers spray water on trees when freeze is coming. I have tried this by accident on some tomatoes with some success. The thery is the ice coats the plants, if all parts are sprayed, and insulates the plant. Sounds like it might be to late for you.
Good luck!
