To plant or not?

Here's the conundrum. I've been planting rhizomes this weekend. Yesterday was warm, but today it's only 50. I've been rushing out, planting a couple rhizomes, and rushing back in to get warm.

I have tons of daffodils, tulips, and crocuses yet to plant. It's going to get cold this week, 30s and 40s. Then next weekend it'll warm up to the 60s during the day, although the lows will be in the 30s, and for the next couple/several days after that it'll be seasonal, with lows in the 40s.

Should I push through to plant everything today? Or should I wait till next weekend when it'll be a little warmer?

Or does it not matter because I'm planting so late that they're all gonna die, anyway?

At least the instructions for the garlic said to plant them AFTER the first hard frost, so I'm still good to go there.

They won't 'die'. As long as you can dig/work the soil, you can plant bulbs. I have planted as late as January and they do just fine.

That's good, because I only managed to plant 12 rhizomes this weekend. The fit hit the shan; everything fell apart, and I got very little done.

KayJones is spot on. You can successfully plant bulbs right up until the ground freezes. Once I took a December forced hyacinth gift (hospital stay) and chipped through the frozen soil and planted it. (I poured a little warm water over the bulb and soil in the hole.) It wasn't the largest bloom I ever saw but it bloomed! If it is really a rhizome, like an iris, they might not have enough time to push roots into the soil and alternate freeze/thaws can push them out of the soil. That's gonna be some spectacular spring show you're gonna have.
