6 week old doeling

how cold is too cold for a 6 week old doeling? I'm in florida, so it doesnt get very cold, but this week is forecast to be in the 20's and windy at night, should I do anything different than what I normally do?

Is she alone? Mama with her? If she is with her mama then she will keep her warm. Just add more bedding and make sure they are out of the wind.
