Planting bulbs after a frost??

[KrnB]

Hi - I'm new to the whole gardening thing and I need some advice from some experts.

I wanted to plant tulip bulbs along both sides of my long sidewalk to the front of my house. I got the longer side of the curved walk planted a few weeks ago (about 110 bulbs), but a combination of weather and schedule prevented me from getting them done on the other side.

I was planning on planting the rest this weekend, but we had a hard frost last night and I'm wondering if that means that I'm done for the season. If it warms up a bit this weekend, can I still plant the rest? Or should I store them until next fall? And if I should store them, how/where should I store them so they will be OK a year from now?

TIA for your help!

It's been my experience that as long as you can dig the hole, the bulbs will be fine. The ground is probably not frozen, just the live plants were affected by the freeze.
