My large outdoor sago plant (10 years old) leaves turned brown due to winter and freezing cold weather. Do I cut the brown leaves off? It is spring time now in northern Louisiana.

You will need to remove the yellow and brown fronds this spring but only those as they will not come back. Just use sharp shears to do so. Do not remove green parts of fronds. These articles will help you as well:
