We are expecting some flurries here too and I am not covering anything. If it gets really cold the tips of the iris may turn brown but they will be fine.

Iris will not care. Neither will any other perennials starting to come up. Snow is not unusual this time of year and they 'know' it 
The only thing I'd cover would be newly-sprouted seeds of very early spinach/lettuce/etc, more so they don't get permanently mashed into the mud than anything else.
Have 'fun',
Pat, with about 3-4" of the wettest densest snow I've seen in my life on the ground right now, and more still coming. Boy are the horses ever Not Amused. And boy oh boy is it ever MUDDY out there :/

We are supposed to get cold/snowy weather here too, (in Ohio), I had some bush cherries and some small peach trees that were just starting to bud out, so I wrapped them in newspaper. It is supposed to warm up after tomorrow, so I will probably take it off then.
