Question Re: Red Abyssinian's left out in the cold-can they be saved?

I have been in such a funk lately that I chose to let my bananas go. What I mean is that I knew I needed to bring them in from the cold, but I didn't. I live in Vermont... Last night, it snowed, and my potted Red Abyssinians are dead, I think. One of them is (was) 9ft tall, and I had overwintered it every year in my studio. The others were smaller, and they also were inside, under T5 lights. I had 7 all together, most Musa Basjoo's, all well tended, and summered out on my deck, in large pots.
I wish I'd not been so depressed. I sit here at the computer, and just out side the window are my freezing bananas. Is it too late? Can I got out there now and pull the smaller ones into the garage or basement? If the leaves are dead, are the corms dead too?? I have no excuse....but can someone help me with this?
