How did your gardens fair in the snow?

I haven't checked my tented tropicals yet. There is a heat lamp in the tent so I am hopeful.

An old 12' tall camellia had half of its trunks weighed down, almost touching the ground. It's recovered somewhat, but is going to need some pruning (when blooming is over) and a little staking once the ground dries a bit.

Everything else did ok.

We had between 8 and 10 inches of snow. Tree limbs and power lines down everywhere. My 6 ft roses ended up about 3 ft tall. But kept right on blooming. What would normally die back in the winter has done just that, the rest seem to be doing fine.
