Should I start planting tomato transplants now?

I've got 2 tomato plants left from the 8 that I had growing before the freezes came.

So question is, should I go ahead and plant transplants now despite the risk of another freeze? Or should I wait until around March?

Now seems a little early, but in your area you should be able to plant them out some time in Feb. Watch your ten day weather forecast. If you have a ten day forecast with no temps below 40 d. F., you should be ok. But look for plants that have been growing in similar conditions; you don't want to bring a plant directly from greenhouse to unprotected outdoors.
