I'm sure you get this question every fall, but I couldn't get a clean
hit searching historical groups.

Bulbs we planted in early November are poking through in early
December! We're in mid-Connecticut and I expect it to get much colder
before it gets any warmer.

Any suggestions for protecting the tender bits?

Don't worry about it. As long as the flower buds don't come up you're fine.

No need... they'll figure it out themselves. g

You may get some browned leaf tips in the spring, but the flower
buds are still down in the bulb with most bulbs.

If you get a cold, dry, not-very -snowy winter, consider shoveling
some snow on top of them (just a few inches) when there is snow
on the ground.

Well the little bit of growth they are making is making them stronger
and showing you that they have developed a root system.
No need for worry.
A top dressing of sifted compost won't hurt.
