It's warm today and I noticed the snow I placed on the pots compacted the soil so I gave the pots a topdressing of pine bark mulch. It will be a while before these bulbs bloom (assuming they will!), so I want to be sure to keep them moist and as cool as possible.

On a related note, the bulbs I have been forcing to go in my urns were starting to peek out of the mulch, so I pulled the pots up and placed them in the urns. I filled the gap between the pot and the urn with potting soil and topped them off with mulch. A few warm days and they will be above the mulch, ready to bloom.
