Covering seedlings against ice?

We are expecting an ice storm/freezing rain/something over the next 24-36 hours. Rain started today about 11 am or so. I covered my seedlings, with tarps, around 12:00 or 12:30 pm today, as I lost a lot during our last ice storm a week ago.

My question is this: The threat of ice has diminished, though they are still calling for "freezing rain" and "freezing drizzle." The seedlings have already been covered for 5 hours. I figure I will keep them covered tonight, since the sun will set in a few hours. Do I need to uncover them for a few hours tomorrow to get some sunlight (although that will introduce more freezing rain, and it will be cloudy all day), or will they be okay if I keep them covered for a total of 36-48 hours?

Thanks!
