the blanket idea is no good, but the mulching should work. if you monitor your porch temp to ensure it at least stays above freezing (32F) it may survive. slowly but surely the days seem to be trending towards warmer temps. i have also been in the "couldn't resist" shoes with a juniper, in fact, i kept it in a cold porch and it survived. i did once and a while run a small space heater when it got really cold. monitoring the temp is going to be the key for helping this tree make it through the remainder of winter. good luck.
