1 week after freeze and 29 degree temps in 2 gal plant and two leaves show some signs of burn but burn is showing up.  Leaf damage is white and the soil is not dry, is this normal for cold damage?  same type of damage is visisble on Kentia and Chambeyronea hookeri while damage on others is brown.

Riverside report.  20 degrees in the back yard.  West side in the open my Caryota Thai Mt. giant in a pot is brown.  Damage was seen on pots of Dypsis Madagascariensis, Wodyetia and Dypsis Leptchielos.  Same caryota a bit highter, planted and under trees shows no damage.  Of course bouganvilla is toasted.   It was sad to see the Huntington Caryotas yesterday.

Dave I am not sure, but I swore you said I could plant out the one I just picked up. I put it on hill with SW exsposure and it got fried. I hope it makes it.

Ladies and Germans, this was a nasty day for the Hillies.

This is my biggest one, about 10' feet tall, so pretty.

Not so pretty two weeks post 28=29 for four solid consecutive nights, no frost, thank heaven.

Not good.

This one took a much harder it, I don't it'll make it.

It probably got down to about 22 F in this lower part of the yard.

Small specimen (~3-4 ft high) went through three nights in a row of 35.0,33.5,36.8F undamaged 1/2009. No frost on leaves.

This same palm also took a windy 30F in 1/2008 and was undamaged. This was remarkable to me as I planted it but 3 weeks before that freeze.

Two consecutive nights with freezing temps and one day with snow. In detail on 1/9/17 from 0:00 am until 9:00   am constantly below zero with below -1 C from 5:30 am to 8:15 am and absolute min. of - 1.8 C from 6:20 am to 6:45 am. Max temperature same day 5.8 C at 1:10 pm. On 1/10/17 constant subzero from 0:00 am to 3:30 am with an absolute min of -0.5 C around midnight. Asolute max. on same day 7.1 pm at 10:06 pm, but snow remained on leaves from dawn to late afternoon. During cold spell dew point was always remaining below actual temperature. Plant well established with southwestern exposure and lacking whatever overhead canopy. Protected was only the stem around meristem. Faired better than expected, of course it skows damage, but plant looks so far quite pristine.
