A phenology chart I found suggests that peas be planted when the forsythia & daffodils bloom, the redwing blackbird females return and/or the chickadees build their nests. Also, if you have a soil thermometer, the soil temp preferred is 40 - 55 degrees and the preferred air temp 60 - 65.

Personally, I put the English peas in a couple weeks ago and was going to plant the snap peas today or tomorrow because I read they should be planted about 10 days later than the shelling peas. My zone might be warmer than yours, though.
