Bad year for us, too. I have dozens of bonsai trees, over-wintering in an unheated but attached garage, already pushing their spring flush of growth.
You didn't say what's blooming. I did see some cyclamen poking out from under the snow drifts here, but I'm not worried about those. There's really not much you can do because you'd need to keep covering/ uncovering as temp fluctuate around the freezing mark.
