As indicated by a number of posters before, there does not appear to be a significant amount of ground-frost under the snow pack, so allowing for a normal ground temp of around 4C, peepers are a possiility.. depending on (micro) habitat... although I suspect he would be a bit on the lonely side.

Our normally well-peeper-populated pond (just south of Yarmouth) still sits
under rapidly shrinking snow, but there's lots of moisture around.  Must
remember to keep ears "peeled."

A Chipping Sparrow is belting out its mechanical trill for the first time
this year here on Corkums I, Lun Co. A migrant or overwintering bird?

I heard what sounded like a Spring Peeper intermittently calling from the
flowing wet area to the side of the house at noon today. But this doesn't
seem possible and I have not heard any reports from elsewhere. Perhaps it is
some bird although it sure sounds like a Peeper.
