I am in the midwest US, and need to split some hosta plants at the
roots.

Should it be done, say, this week? Or wait 'till next spring??

I'm in zone 5, Western NY (cold cold cold), and I've done it both ways. I
lean toward spring, though, because I'll probably cook up garden ideas
during the winter and won't like where I stuck the plants 6 months
earlier.

Sound advice. We take new plants propagated newbies and let them grow
in our nurseries. Think halfway houses. I'd split when I feel like it.

50 F and damp to the bone here.

Our oak leaves just won't fall or is it just a task I want to have done.

Same here, sort of. I live 1/2 mile from Lake Ontario, and leaves are
falling. A friend lives a block from the water, and it's keeping her
neighborhood just warm enough that the trees think it's September.
