Why dig them up? why not do field grafting?

Hello Guys;
To clarify, I plan to cut scions in late winter and refrigerate them. In the following Spring, I now have scions, and small seedlings that are alive, dormant, having spent the winter in the nursery, and are still out there. Calipers range from 1/4" to 3/8"
Question: Should I dig them up for bench grafting as soon as the ground thaws, or wait until the bark slips to dig them? Does it make any difference?
