Do you think if I cover it that there may be a chance it will survive?
The next three nights are going to be around 30 F. here.

There is every chance of it surviving 29F and it probably will not need
covering. Although we often eat lettuce in warmer months it is actually
easier to grow in cooler conditions.

This is very true... in warmer weather lettuce tends to bolt.
