Sorry Sarv- did the tubers left in ground freeze that fast? I bet some survived, although I know it's cool there. Mother Earth is a good insulator; maybe you'll be surprised.
I have a couple clumps weighing in at about 20 lbs and wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens to me. It's so weird how many roots some varieties produce and some so few. And some barely any......

Here is the Coral Gypsy 'clump', but it was NOT the largest tuber after all, (that one follows.) CG has only that one big mama tuber and the skimpy wimpy little things that might have been tubers in a few months above it. Don't think I've ever seen this before.
