Default Melon ripening question

Not surprisingly, we have had early frosts to complement the late spring.
My melon plants are dead, and I have some yellow canary melons that are
small - six inches long, four inch diameter, and more green then yellow.
Question - will these ripen on the shelf, or are they as ripe as they are
likely to get?

You now have ammo *ripe* for a trevache.....or possibly a spud gun.
