Home and Garden cold weather snap casualties

I haven't done a full assessment on what damage was done with the multiple 10 degree days we had here around Christmas.
Fortunately, no frozen pipe issues for me.
Biggest concern I have are my sweet tea olive plants have all dropped their leaves. Maybe they'll come back ok in the Spring.
Any issues/ concerns for you?

Split leaf philodendrons are looking rough. Still green but mostly wilted leaves down by the bent over stems. Not sure what's best to do. Cut them where bent or near the ground.

Central Mississippi and it basically got everything, even rye grass, deer patches, etc. Everything is brown.

-5 here has all the laurels looking brown, but I think they'll come back.

Azaleas, ferns, and blueberries that I didn't cover turned brown and lost a lot of leaves. Hoping they'll be fine.
I also forgot to cover a lemon plant in a pot on my porch. It's looking rough but not totally dead. It doesn't produce much anyway so I'm not overly worried about it.
All pipes and well were good, but my outdoor kitchen faucet blew a seal in the handle so it's from the handle leaking now. Tried to take it apart but it looks like it is sealed, so I'll have to replace it.

Hopefully we can add sod webworms to the list of casualties.

I did have some weed that proliferates this time of year that seemed to die back.
Not sure what weed it is, but it'll be in the yard, has little purple blooms, and will choke out relatively quickly in the spring.
So, that's a good result.

Really worried about my Satsuma. Leaves all falling.
Some of my Shi_Shis look poor.

Split leaf philodendrons
Cut off the wilted leaves and stems a few inches from the trunk, then protect the roots and trunk with new compost/mulch/pine straw. They should grow back. We have an old growth philo garden which has frozen down several times over the years, they grew back to 8-ft tall within a couple of years. If the trunks froze and died, the plants will likely grow new shoots from the ground.

got to -1 here. Afraid we lost a lot of our scrubs.
Criptomeria are all completely brown.
two other types are that look dead but I don't remember what they are.
fingers crossed that they come back out.
