If the protracted cold is interfering with your plans of getting a head start in your garden, Green_Anarchist from Instructables has directions on how to build a movable cold frame/greenhouse you can position over your plots to encourage seeds to germinate:
The greenhouse is planned to be used as a movable greenhouse to germinate seeds of different foodcrop-plots (one plot at a time; leaving it on just long enough untill the germs have come to somewhat to size). When the seed has germinated well enough to resist the outside environment, the greenhouse is then quickly moved to another plot.
You could conceivably even cobble this setup together for next to nothing if you're a consummate dumpster diver with access to a junkyard. ::Instructables
Difficulty level: Moderate
