Mine are all uncovered, they have to take their chances.

Mine have been uncovered since the last cold spell. I'm just hoping this wind chill hasn't affected them.
Most wanted list - Any Young Trachycarpus and/or fern.

The way I look at it, anything that can't take -3 or -4 is not cold hardy, it is tender and is a greenhouse/conservatory plant not a garden palm.
If we a forecast REAL cold, I cover and heat them.

The majority of my palms are Trachycarpus Fortunei & Waggie, and are not fleeced.
My small palms such as Trachycarpus Princeps & Latisectus are kept in pots, so are brought undercover in the worst of the weather.
I have Chamaerops Cerifera & Trithrinax Campestris planted outside, these are just draped with sleeping bags, and uncovered as the daytime temps rise.
