Plant before snow or not?

[mrsreynolds4]

I picked up a few Arborvitae (big sale at Home Depot) the other day.  They've been in the mostly outdoor garden area at HD, and they've been outside here since Saturday.

We're supposed to get snow tonight - over a foot.  I've always heard it's good to plant before a snowstorm, but the temps are going to be down around 10 degrees Tuesday night.

So, keep them in, or put them in the ground.  WWYD?

Snow may pile up on the branches, bending and maybe breaking them.

I'd worried about that too, so they've been hanging out in my garage. We didn't get the super blizzard they were predicting (only about 8"), but it got really cold for a day.

And we're getting more this week too.  I keep having to reign myself on our good days and remind myself it still too early.   (this is wonderred btw)
