Ya all the palms are still right where they ought to be(they can handle to -15c). There was no problems with the wind storms either that I know of.

The banana trees stay as they're quite large. They can handle temps to -20c apparently but the leaves die of around -2. The trunks are protected over winter then unwrapped in spring. The leaves grow back really fast and at a rate of 2 ft per week. I've seen quite a few dead looking ones in my neighbourhood but it's all part of the plant's seasonal natural process.

I really can't wait too. My friend got a new boat so we are dying to test it out.
