Fully recovered (this one shocked me...in a good way)

If global warming means I can grow Cocos Nucifera, then bring it on....

Small seedling (probably a couple of years old) growing in pot with really dry soil, as it likes it, after persistent cold weather with many days and nights with temperatures staying below 8C / 46F, but no actual freeze (the lowest temp was around 1.5C/34.5F), completely defoliated but the spear may be OK, so I'll wait for warmer weather before I declare it a loss. But definitely not a hardy palm, at least at that stage of growth....
