Answer
Karen,

From the description of haow they all started to brown out at once, I would have to say that the boxwoods were damaged by either extereme cold temperatures/ice-snow or deicing salts in the root zones.

I would recommend watering the plants heavily to move the salt away and below the root zone and fertilizing them heavily this spring to help spark recovery.

Good luck,
