I planted my shallots on Saturday. It was a very windy, but warm day. Then yesterday it snowed.

Might I lose my shallots now? Should I protect them? help :-\

It might even stop the birds finding the tops to pull them out for long enough for the roots to take hold!

Ooo - we not get snow, but see it in the hills/mountains - no snowball fights :(
Snow can be an insulation???
