Daffodils at Risk?

Hours before blizzard.
   They should have waited.
   Daffodils are sprouting beside my driveway. These harbingers of spring usually emerge later in winter.
   A blizzard called Nemo, more brutish than most, hammered this community.
   These sprouts endured a double whammy of abuse. First, a massive downpour of snow buried them. Next, snow shoveled off the driveway further entombed them. 
   What will become of these Daffodil preemies? Will they succumb to the elements? Or will they keep growing, poke through melting snow, and blossom into yellow petals?
   I'll report later on their fate.
