Actually the ice will prevent the canes from drying out.
Snow would provide a better winter cover, but all is not lost.
In California and Florida when a freeze is expected they spray water on the strawberries to prevent damage.

Thanks a bunch Meg. I guess I will relax now. as you can see in the picture,snow is covering the ground and ice is frozen on the plant. Maybe it will survive. If not then I guess I will just buy another one to plant.

Gee, just ONE?
I'm sure you need at least two so that they have each other for company...
Or maybe four or how about an even half dozen or hey...
Doesn't a DOZEN sound even better....LOL
