I am new to the site but have been gardening for over 10 years.

I chill my Tulips for 8 weeks as well. I usually plant my Tulips and Hyacinths in November, they bloom in late February and do not expect them to come back.

Be careful when chilling your bulbs, that you do not have apples in the fridge. I hear the gas that apples put off is not good for the bulbs. I have a small mini fridge I put my bulbs in.
