tulips, hyacinths but also lots of smaller more delicate flowers, some iris s (irises?)
they are all completely covered in snow and frozen. Some are in pots, some In the ground.

I'm worried

Nope. It's normal to get snow in spring.

Oh good, Google is giving me yes and no answers and 'depending on the variety..." I don't know the variety though

They should survive, spring bulbs are adapted to cold weather.

My tete-a-tete daffodils looked so pretty in the snow this morning.

Probably not, they are designed to cope with it.

Generally no they will be fine. I have found some blooms look like they are frost bitten if they were just beginning to bud. Still look pretty though!

No. They will be fine.
