Default Too late to plant spring bulbs ?

Because of the mild October we had much of my garden was still in
flower and as a result I delayed my spring bulb planting. However, the
recent frosts has brought about a dramatic reversal ! I was wondering
if it is too late to plant for a spring bloom in the garden ?

I'm still planting them in Maine, US! Fall was delayed, as now is winter.
For me, it's too late when the ground is too frozen to be broken by a strong
spade. Or when deep snow comes. Whichever happens first. Neither appear
imminent, but I did very diplomatically advise a client not to order even
more bulbs---
