Palms of any kind are uncommon around here but I found this at a Mexican restaurant just south of Nashville. Looks like winter Was .not so kind to it.

Does not look good at all. Mine was severally damaged at 4 degrees F but at least all the petioles are green and may come back. The one pictured looks not to have any green at all. Unfortunately, we are forecasted to be in the low 20's for the next 2 nights which will not help.

Lived in Cape Coral, Miami, Orlando and St. Petersburg Florida.

The flowers look new so maybe alive.  Palms went thru a 25 year low here so it will be lucky to be alive.  probably saw around 0F

It’s in Antioch.. I’m not sure if I know how to share it on Google maps. I live about half an hour north of there and we are predicted to be down to 20 and 21 the next couple nights. I have a pindo with spear pull And a needle in bad shape. Hoping we’re out of the woods after that and they pull through

I think it will make it . I see green petioles in the center . I'd ask them if you can prune off the dead petioles and fronds for a free meal . 😃

I planted this one at Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant ( Mi Alpo ; the food is good but I have funny names for a lot of restaurants and businesses lol )  in Winston-Salem when it was a tiny 3 gallon plant . It seems to be really hardy and looks less damaged than my Trachys .

Atlanta metro went through 5° to 6° low with 50% burn on Trachycarpus. 100% on the waggies. I see now that it wasn't just old leaves damaged on fortuneis. Even last year's growth has burnt leaflets that has shown itself after last week.
