I don't think your Zone (4b) would be a problem. I have a friend who grows Snowdrops successfully in Northern Vermont, Zone 3. My suggestion would be for you to buy a few bulbs of the common Galanthus nivalis from Brent and Becky's or another quality bulb supplier and plant them this fall. I suspect you will find they will do well. With nivalis plant they where it will be wet in the Spring and shady in the summer.

Here's a photo of a cultivar called Trymposter.

Happy growing.
