Boxwoods are very susceptible to winter scorch and winds in our region, especially on the south and west sides of our gardens. Watering them well before the coldest time of the season will help them withstand some of the weather. You should do that before the ground is frozen solid. You can wrap them in burlap.
I hope this is helpful.
