Don,

A big part of your tuber's survival was likely that it was completely
dry. There's a big difference between dry cold and damp cold.

Sometimes tubers survive Winter outdoors in CT (zone 5) in a protected
spot. I tried two, one in Old Saybrook, on the shore and warmer than my
house by a lot. It did not survive (a largish tuber, more than 1 or 2
years old). The second was in Manchester right against my friends house
where it would get warmth from the foundation and a little less water
because the overhang and gutters would protect it somewhat. It did not
survive. Again, a largish tuber that grew great the summer before it
died and I planted it DEEP - as deep as I could dig with my little hand
shovel, at least 8 inches.
