You should probably wait til there’s no more snow on the ground 😂

I think you have started your cucumbers little bit early.
I am in Finland and view from my window currently is pretty much the same than yours. I sow my cucumbers usually at first of May or few days after. I pregrow them inside for a month and then put them in my greenhouse (open land varietes to the vegetable garden). This timing seems to be perfect for my climate, seedlings dont grow too big to fall over but they are sturdy and big enough to move outside without getting upset. I train them for about week before transplanting by bringing them out for a day to half shady spot (as long as it is warm enogh) and bring them inside for the night, adding every day bit more to outdoor time. This way they don’t get shock when moved out.
Cucumbers don’t like repotting. They are pretty sensitive about their roots staying intact so you have to be really careful when transplanting them. You can try to repot yours though, because even if it goes wrong, you have plenty of time to sow new ones for the summer. Cucumbers grow fast, so month is about all you need for pregrowing in nordics. You can even just sow them straight to ground and harvest little bit later then. i Like to pregrow cause then i am usually getting first cucumbers around Midsummer.
