How did everyone's trees and shrubs (OK, vines too) fare this past winter?

I think I lost my Davidia involucrata that's been growing out back for
nine years; it hadn't bloomed yet.  

I also lost a bunch of things that were in pots:

   Franklinia alatamaha
   Zenobia pulverulenta âWoodlanders Blueâ 
   Viburnum acerifolium 

My potted Dirca palustris and Oxydendrum arboreum died back to the trunk,
but I see new growth!

Although I didn't lose many plants, I do see significant dieback.  The
Akebia x pentaphylla lost most of its vines, We had Thuja lose branches
under snow, Rhododendron mucronulatum lost one side, etc.

It was a rough winter!
