We are expecting 5-8 inches of snow this weekend. What can I do to save my blooming flowers? I have tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils up right now along with other flower green emerging too.
My garden is large and I live in zone 5B, Michigan.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Snow doesn't get colder than 32 degrees, so don't get panicked yet. What does the temperature look like? If there isn't enough snow to cover them you might want to shovel enough on top to do so (if temps are going below freezing).
You could also spray the whole garden with a hose just before freezing temps hit; ice never gets lower than 32 degrees either...
