But what’s the new windchill rating going to be? Cold, really cold, or frozen nuts cold?
+1 fall is root system recovery time. Hurting the grass for next summer by limiting carbohydrates available to the roots before winter.
With regards to the snow good vs snow bad debate. Cold+snow is better than cold+no snow. Nothing worse than frigid cold with no snow on the ground. Or the days where it hovers just above freezing and drizzles all day. Give me a blizzard over that.
If we’re going to live here, give me the full boat. None of this half ass winter. Makes the spring that much sweeter too.
No mowing the yard for me in November in Iowa. Its already stored away and the snow blower is ready to go.
I think my last mow was in August. It didn’t hardly rain a drop for over 2 months and only turned wet the past couple weeks. Far too late to get the grass to take off again.
This time of year I don't mow for the grass I mow the leaves.
Sunday is my plan. One more mulch of the leaves along our fence and then take the mower deck off and put on the snowblower
I didn’t mow between August and October. But we got enough rain that it greened back up and got long enough that I wasn’t going to let it go. So I mowed last week. I was genuinely surprised how quickly it went from crispy to green again this late in the season.
I prefer to chop them into tiny pieces and let the 50 mph wind take them to my neighbors
Any leaf that doesn’t get bagged, mulched or blown away by Sunday at 5:00 is winters problem.
