Hi Naysen, I hope you got your tomatoes in this weekend! I'm not far from you in Davis. I put a couple in the ground last week, and most of them in between the rains this weekend.
I'm a lazy gardener, and one thing I've done is put up Wall of Waters, (or can be a cut up gallon milk jug) to put over my plants, like a mini-green house. If I thought we'd get down to freezing, I'd actually fill them up with water, but I didn't see the need, since I'm starting later than previous years (I'm an impatient gardener too, lol)
Since I have usually free-roaming chickens, this also keeps my girls from eating up my plants.
And I'm usually lazy to harden off, and it prevents my young tomato plants from burning, and slowly opens as the plant grows up and hardens them off.
