Rotted early peas look like?

Hi, Sorry for what seems like a trivial, silly thread. I planted my peas very early. Then a big snow came. I have read in my books that early peas can rot in the ground. What does that look like?

My peas don't look like they did when I planted them, but they may be ok and going slow b/c of the temps. I have tried to find this answer. Does anyone know first hand what an early pea that rotted in the ground looks like? Thanks.

PS - Mine are a bit puffy and a little soft. When I squeeze them, they split in half. I don't know if that is normal part of the growing season. This is year three for peas for me, and I never checked one of the growing seedlings before.
