Default Tulips Concern

They will not be harmed. Many bulbs tentatively stick up their noses (which
are the top edges of their leaves) at any hint of warm weather, but the
flower scapes are usually the last thing up. Therefore they almost always
escape cold weather damage. (The tips of the leaves that are already
sticking out of the ground may burn or get brown - the rest of the leaf
which is underground will be fine).

Hi all,

I'm in NJ and my tulips are coming up and I'm very happy for that.
However there is very cold outside (low 20F) and this is the first time I
have
Tulips.
Is this normal? Will they get hurt with this weather?
