Is my fetterbush dead?

I SO wanted some of these...and I was only able to get one locally last year....it was the last one left at the only garden center in my area that had them. I had done my research. And just so happened the woman I talked to up there had several of them in her own yard for years with good luck. So I bought it...hoping to get more this year. But I'm afraid it's dying! It's a scarletta fetterbush (leocothoe fontanesiana "scarletta"). Supposed to be evergreen...and it's still green down below...
I planted it mid-late May and kept it watered as directed, it looked great through summer and fall, and into winter. But it's been really cold, and we've had a lot of snow. Now it's gotten warm (40's) and we're getting quite a bit of melting, and it looks like this....can I save it? The brown on top is dry and dead looking.
