Yep this winter is turning into a repeat or even worse of last year. I remember being so sick of wonter by the third cold wave or so last March...LOL. Hopefully w're spared that... but with the snowpack we have it could make for a slow transition to spring.
I wouldn't expect much in the way of loss if they're protected, However you should feel lucky if you are able to save more than a foot or so of P-stem.
I left my P-stems at a foot to five feet, I expect I will need to cut them all back to the ground come spring -average temperature so far this month is 10 F with several nights below -20 F.

Stay warm
