Thinkin of frost seeding clover next week maybe switch too. Can it be too cold to do this? Can low temps hurt the seed?

No! Do it! If you can get the seed onto bare dirt you should be good to go.
Clover: https://www.iowawhitetail.com/forum/threads/clover.15076/
& check out the switchgrass thread.

Both can be frost seeded any time. Both r “heavy” hard seeds that will make it to soil as long as it’s not chalked full of trash. The freezing & thawing of soil will create a very desireable seed to soil contact that’s needed. Perfect timing now & in the next few weeks. Switchgrass- id do this NOW! U need stratification to take place on switch seed (freezing & thawing to break down hard seed coating so seed will germinate this year). Clover u have a little more time. Do it all now though & ur fine.
