Dying Toms!

This is my fourth summer of gardening. I've never had a problem before - pretty lucky. I was so glad to get an early start this year - but I think our unseasonably cold spring has defeated me! I'm fairly sure I'm going to lose my tomato plants :( I'm posting pics - I think my problem is the cold snap as well as our windy conditions. However I just want to be sure. Does anyone think this could be a nutrient problem or a disease of some sort??

Looks like early blight.

Well that's what I thought - but then I read that EB only sets in in humid and warm temps after fruit set. We have had chilly temps, not a lot of rain and my plants are only about 3 weeks old. So is EB even possible??
