When does the back-yard mint die?

It's dead now, but it wasn't yet a month ago when we made lamb burgers and we used it with the fresh oregano and parsley from market. Then, in the last few weeks, we had enough snow and ice to keep it covered for a while. (Though I remember, too, when we had the lambypie last month I picked the mint from the snow.). Now it's gone 'cept a tangle of brown vines and some frostbitten green-purple leaves and some very fresh sprigs just popping up. I think it happened the same way and the same time last year. The mint is dead! Long live the mint!
