If your crops will be killed by frost, 3+-1 is rather different than 3+-6.

Again, just because the forecast says 3±1 doesn't mean the low temperature will be at least 2 degrees. If your crops will be killed by frost, and the forecast says 3±1, you need to protect your crops. It's really not that different from 3±6; you'll do the same thing given either forecast.
