Hate to hear that Chief...
We went about 3 years in a row there with no peaches ... until last year and had a good crop.. and looks like we might this year too.
Our 7 day forecast for lows is 39 39 50 48 38 35 38 42.
Just a couple days ago I checked that and there was only one day expected to be down around 38... so they have changed that now.
I hear that small peaches once set are still susceptible to frost but it has to get down around 28 degrees to really harm them.
I have also heard peach growers online saying that open blooms can survive lows near 25 degrees... and that some varieties are more frost hardy than others.
I hope some of yours do make it...
Hey... when I was filling out my add to Food Forest list this year... planting new things.. some things I really looked for were fruits that had these qualities...
1.. no known pest or diseases
2.. bloomed after our late frosts
3.. ripened fruit when I had no other stuff currently ripening fruit (earlier or later).
One that you might consider is the JuJube... They bloom in May per some I have read, and in the OGW catalog they say bloom mid-summer, and fruit ripens late Sept, October.
USDA Zone 5... hardy to -20 degrees or below - grows 8-10' high.

I planted to varieties for cross pollination. About 4' apart.
I have two European Plums that I planted last spring (Rosy Gauge and Mt. Royal)... and they are supposed to bloom much later than Japanese Plums (and avoid late frosts)
Both of mine have leaves coming out now, but no blooms so far this spring.
JostaBerry bushes bloom in May-June... I planted 2 last year and they have buds now but no leaves or blooms in sight yet.
I am looking forward to when all the start producing... I expect the JostaBerry to produce this year, and the Euro Plums..
My JuJubes just planted this spring so it may be a year or two before I get fruit. They say some produce some fruit 2nd leaf. By year 4-5 nice crops.
