I live in Morristown, NJ and I keep my Elm inside. It doesn't go dorment in the winter. However, some people put it outside to go dorment and it looses all it's leaves. It doesn't need a dorment period, but it sounds like did have one. Never bring it inside when it gets cold outside, because it can shock it. I can't tell what exactly causes it, but my one elm did the same thing and it's thriving. Keep an eye on it and see if it buds in the next few weeks. If it does then your good, if not then I'm sorry to say it didn't make it.
