This town's going daffy!

Yesterday, as I stooped to retrieve yet another sweet gum seed pod, or "spikey balls" as they're known around here, I spotted this. My daffodils are coming up!!! It's January! Either we're going to have an amazingly short Winter or a very ugly, flowerless Spring. Any horticulturists out there with some tips? Are these things hearty enough to withstand the upcoming ice and snow? Should I cover them with something? I'm going to have to check out Al Gore's documentary. I knew the climate is getting warmer, but daffodils in January?
