Digging up spring flowering bulbs
Not a good idea. Those bulbs are growing now and will be getting ready to blossom in Ala about that time (unless the current weather pattern holds) with roots set.

Digging bulbs
I'd give it a try. Put in plastic bag SLIGHTLY moistened. Replant as soon as possible and water-in well. As alrady mentioned, bulbs are tough. I planted some daffodils in the spring after they just "sat around" all winter and they grew foliage just fine and a year later bloomed.

Dig up cut off any growing area, stick in plastic sandwich bags. I have left blubs in a empty flower pot out in our garage over the winter that did not get planted before the first frost to found them growing in the empty pot with no dirt!I was amazed and plated them they did not bloom that spring just grew with leaves but the following they did very well.
