Snow/Serenoa repens

Snow last night measured 4in. deep. This year I decided not to protect anything from now on. It got to be too tiresome.
The snow bent the fronds on my Butia to the ground. Before the snow they stood 6 to 7ft.
Oh well.
My large (11+ foot) Sable bermudana had the fronds bent to the ground also. It now resembles a talipot palm even more.
This year I have been supprised by a few things;
lost 2 Agave parrasana, 1 Agave weberi.
still doing well are my Mexican Weeping Bamboo, Chamaedorea radicalis 'trunking form', Serenoa repens 'blue form', Fascularia bicolor, and both my Brahea armata's. All these plants are completely exposed.
Currently I am working on finishing my desert and am planning the front which I am working hard to depict some of my favorite areas in Florida (pines, serenoa repens, sable minor, etc.)
