It is really hard to keep fall bulbs over the winter and plant in the spring. They usually either dry out or mold. If you can get them in the ground at all, they need a cold winter to bloom. You can plant them anytime, even into January if you can get a shovel into the ground. They will bloom late if you plant them that late, but they will bloom. If you plant them in the spring, they might not bloom at all until the following year. If you have no other option (are you in the middle of that ferocious storm in the east?) you can keep them in the refrigerator until spring, and with being in cold storage, they should bloom when you plant them. (that is also what you do to force bulbs to bloom early). However, if you do that, remember that ripening apples and other fruit put off an ethane gas that will kill flower buds in tulips and other bulbs, so be careful not to put fruit in there with them.
