Cold, cutter, cold, cutter pattern...you can see how easily it would have been to get a good one in there. Still think we'll prob get at least another interior threat before the month is out. That PV doesn't really go anywhere...tries to retreat slightly but then drifts back south on ensembles. 

This ain’t set in stone…we watch.

Legit summer feeling out there. Best jog of 2026 so far. Aromas from restaurants getting ready for dinner. An occasional grill. Fresh laundry smell. Glorious out there.

@backedgeapproaching any remedies for snow mold on grass?

Just rake it to get airflow, it will be fine. Don't need any chemicals, etc. I get it every single year pretty bad and its always ends up fine without any treatment. The snow mold areas might take a little longer to green up.

Edit: let it dry some before raking.

68 for a high to day and it was glorious.  Going to Killington tomorrow, still looks in good shape.  Fingers crossed.

You left it too long before the winter/snow set in Scott. That’s tough. 

Left what? It was good in the fall.

Where are the pics?

Partially frozen ground. Nowhere for the melt to go. Sump pump running every couple minutes, standing water under deck and in backyard. Just a mess. Step on the ground and water shoots out.

You literally live in the Hockomock Swamp.

Even finding  stuff to complain about in 70 degree sunny weather in Morch. Just part of his persona . Negative 24/7. Wife # 5 incoming

Pack holding nicely.  Still 9" in south facing open areas, 13"+ in shady spots.  Deeper now than some recent winters ever attained.

Nothing but complaining . Not a good way to keep friends or wives

Usually you only get snowmold if you don’t cut it short enough on the last cut in the fall. Grass lays down on itself when left too long(in height).  You get all the leaves off,  then cut it nice and short and tight…and you have no worries/problems when you do that. 

[Snowcrazed71]

I'm perfectly fine with Winter being over. It was a good one this year, no complaints. And and the weather today is superb and tomorrow will be just as nice. If something comes along that surprises us in the next two weeks, it'll just be icing on the cake. 

I'm ready to get back into my yard!

He’ll just say he’s keeping it real, and just speaking the truth.

Thats not how it works, it can make it worse if its a little longer, but I cut mine down to 2 inches in the fall and still get it bad most years.  Its a fungus lying dormant in the soil until the conditions are ripe for it to appear(long lasting snowcover). It doesnt matter if its short or long, the fungus is still there in the soil.  Fertilized lawns are more likely to get it as well. Certainly grass types are more susceptible as well.

Dam…never ever had a problem ever by doing it the way I stated. My dad was a lawn nut…And this is how we operated and never ever had an issue.  If what you say is true…then that fungus must not exist around here.  Nobody has it here who operates the way I said.

I don’t recall that after 2015. First time I’ve ever seen it.

Wow…ya never heard of anything like that. Non existent here…if your yard/lawn is prepped well before the freeze and snow. Weird.

Yea, I mean its a not a guarantee you will get it. You have not it seems, you might not have the fungus in your soil, or maybe you have Bluegrass or another grass type less susceptible, or random luck.  But im not the only one in new england getting it. Golf courses are also know to get it because they are well maintained and fertilizerd. They apply fungicide in fall to help with it.

Anyway we can take this to the lawn thread when Kevin decides to get it going.

[dendrite]

Still 15-16” here
