Last year's sage-- What do I do with it?

Keep the plants if at all possible. The best tasting sage spice comes from the old plants.

Will do. They're somewhat flatted due to the snow. If they survive well, I may move some to a new raised bed, and plan to mulch around them for some support in the fall.

Yup, in the North, whatcha want to do is leave it alone until you can see where regrowth is sprouting from. Then cut off all the dead parts above that.

It may resprout from last years' branches (low down, near the main stem) or it may have got killed off all the way to ground level but it is reasonably likely that it WILL come back, so don't get impatient

Good luck, have fun,
