As February peaks it's head into our lives, I found some of my bulbs doing the same. Not to worry. Apparently "tulips and other spring-flowering bulbs are tough. They can usually take what Mother Nature dishes out. When the weather turns, don't dash outside to cover early-sprouting bulbs with extra 'weather protection.' A short freeze won't do lasting damage to young bulb shoots and buds, though it may 'burn' already open blossoms. Many, such as snowdrops, crocuses, and early rock garden narcissi are supposed to come up in very early spring, even peeking through the snow. An unseasonably warm spell may cause some bulbs to bloom earlier than anticipated, but in most cases won't result in damage".
