So the snow is finally leaving my yard and the grass is still nice and green. For the yard experts out there, is it still safe to mow one last time? My plan before the snow, was to mow one more time and mulch whatever leaves I have. The weather is looking like it’s going to warm up through the next week and I’m thinking the grass really hasn’t gone dormant yet.

I was thinking the same thing! I’m gonna wait until next week when it warms up.

Heck I was mowing/ mulching when it snowed last week.
October 30, 2020 at 11:04 am #1983934I’m glad the snow will be gone because I have about a bajillion leaves to clean up. I’ll likely mow again, too.
October 30, 2020 at 11:07 am #1983935Try to get to your winter cut height before the next snow fall, you never know when the next fall will be there till Spring and you want to void a lot of matted grass.
