Monday night, they are calling for wind chills to be at or below Zero. We did have a cold spell last year and the year before, but not ZERO. Everything I've done, I now question. This is depressing.
 
Here we have Monday and Tuesday that’s going to be the coldest nights. At one point it was predicted to go down to -6°F but it keeps changing I’m just going to wait till I get up on Tuesday and Wednesday morning to see exactly how low the temperature went. So far the snow that’s predicted for Sunday morning is still holding true, 1-3”.
 
Good luck.

On the plus side, at least how I’m thinking about it, is you’ll be able to determine which winter protection methods are successful (adjust in future if required), discover a microclimate in your yard where plants survived and you’ll have reduced pest pressure in the spring due to freezing temperatures (I’m tilling my vegetable beds again today before the coming snow and single digit temperatures).

Everything I have been growing for about 7-8 years is in giant pots, unless it's the one fig we have in ground. I've been growing them this way so that when we move this late spring/summer, after we find a place with property, we can move them, and plant. So I've done my best...brought my little newly rooted and growing Poms inside the house, trusting mother nature with the rest.

I’m not as worried about my fig trees in the shed as I’m worried about my jujube and persimmon trees in ground. I haven’t ever seen anyone on the forum say they wrap theirs for winter. Hopefully they’re cold hardy to low single digits.
