Hi Dennis - Snow is nature's Reemay.  It will protect the rhizomes with
a nice warm blanket.  And even if there were no snow, they should be
fine this far from bloom, unless you've had a couple of months of above
freezing temps.  We are much closer here to bloom season than you are -
early bloomers usually start in mid-late April, and even the late
bloomers in the area are starting to open by the first week of May.  It
all depends on how actively growing they are and how cold it gets.
