You will have better luck with the snow peas if you soak them a few hours and put them in a small container of vermiculite or fine starter soil several days to presprout. Once sprouted, plant them carefully to not harm the roots and leaf. The sprouted seeds can handle colder temperatures than germination requires.

I do that for beans, cukes, corn too. Most large seeds can be pushed 2 weeks early that way and you get earlier and more harvest..
