Watch out for winter warm spells
Normally, it's not a problem if you get a few warm days during the winter season. However, we have had more than normal this season. You may find yourself needing to cover your plants at night with a cone or cold frame. When the weather is warm, you will want to ventilate those plants during the day and then re-cover them at night to prevent them from freezing.

How to deal with snow damaged plants
Don't remove snow. Let it melt.
If the snow is heavily packed down, it is better to let the snow melt than to try to dig out your plants.
Prune broken limbs. If a limb of a shrub, bush, or tree is broken, prune it as soon as possible. Make a clean cut. Remove fallen debris, by doing so insects and diseases won't be attracted to that area.
Look for signs of salt damage. In the spring, look for signs of salt damage. Grass may be stunted and yellow, and trees and shrubs might display yellow leaves with brown leaf margins. The best way to get rid of extra salt is to flush it out with plenty of water. .
Cut off dead limbs. Some plants may have partially survived. In the spring, prune any dead limbs.
