Hi, I tossed a few seeds into my garden last spring, started late and I didn’t expect to get much smoke from them. Anyway I covered them last night because snow was expected. And came. However my plastic cover blew off and I went outside to check them and they were bent over and covered with an inch of snow. Apart from digging them up and potting them and such, I decided to literally cut my losses and I cut them down. The temperatures will moderate some this week but not before dipping down to like 17°F; it’s just an early winter and I’m in NW Wyoming, so a hard freeze is hard. These are small plants, but were flowering. (I had a tremendous grow a few years back and still have pounds, I just grew for fun) So now there’s five wet pot plants in my garage, what can I do to rescue what is on them? (popcorn buds basically) Should I trim them down to just buds now for drying? I’d like to reap what I can, even if I end up with a quarter ounce. Help, please, asap.

I would start trimming at least all of the fan leaves off and bigger leaves on the buds. Ideally if you have a space heater and dehumidifier you could run those in a small room to start sucking the moisture out quickly. If you don't have those my other suggestion is hanging them in front of a fireplace (to gauge the distance for heat, place your hand in front of the hanging buds to where they are barely getting warm). This can help evaporate water quickly and you don't have to leave them too long. Your last option is just to trim, hang and hope for the best.
Pictures would help to determine how far along you are.
