Steve, your bags of bulbs in the refrigerator should be fine. I'd pot them up, give them a good drink and keep them someplace cool (moving them outdoors immediately may shock them a bit - don't you have temps in the 70's this time of year?). I do individual pots of bulbs for forcing each fall. I sink them in the border garden for the winter, then dig them up in mid-March to plant in the urns around my yard and use indoors (in lieu of cutting flowers to enjoy inside).

Here's how a couple of the urns looked on Friday, before our rain/snow event (with my rodent sentry on patrol). I hope these survive the cold. They cannot make it through the winter in the urns, but I think they'll be ok with a couple days of cold temps (it's 34 at the moment).
