Yeah wtf is that all about? I just looked at the weather because I want to put a new door in this weekend. Looks like I will be waiting.

3-6 inches in CT I'm dormant seeding tonight!!

I'll enjoy seeing the Trivilis suffer.

instead of Tenacity turning my grass white Mother Nature will.

Tenacity has given me a timely 'ghost lawn'. Like I put cobwebs down for effect.

Wonderful - I just got moved into the 6"-10" band of snow for tomorrow...

so if i get an inch or two of snow should i let it just melt off the next couple of days or should i use my blower and blow the snow off the grass to keep them from freezing from the ice?

I'm not sure I'm getting your drift (pun intended). If it's 28 degrees outside and you remove the snow, that doesn't make it 50 degrees outside. The temperature is the temperature.

Snow can actually be an insulator, keeping the temperature of the lawn closer to the soil temperature than the (often lower) air temperature. But that takes more than an inch or two...

i was thinking with a relatively thick cover of snow, it will slow the down growth faster. Then again, rain is in the forecast a few days later and that should wash and melt it off. thanks andy =)

I saw last nights forcast and said Morhps going to get hit. Not sure about De.

I just got upped to 8" to 14", and the wind forecast got upped to 45 mph gusts.

8-12 here in CT. I'll be mulching whatever leaves are down in the morning while its still dry and snow blowing by evening. Hope the irrigation holds up, feel like a fool for telling "my guy" to give me a late winterizing.

I don't think you're foolish. I'm not pulling the trigger on winterizing, and definitely not considering dormant seeding. There is still a very good chance that we could see a 60 degree stretch and then what? Existing grass pushed into top growth and germinated dormant seed. No way.

I'm so mad at myself for not mowing/mulching leaves last weekend...now they are going to sit there under 4 to 6 inches of snow and won't get mulched until next weekend at the earliest. I've also not gotten my latest round of fertilizer down and that will have to wait too

We might get 2-4" down here on LI. Last year we didn't drop below freezing until 11/28 and didn't get below 41 all October. My snowblower is tucked into the back of the garage, I'm not ready to bring it out (mower is in the way). Andy, for s__ts and giggles I looked up your weather earlier today and was wondering what you are going to do.

I agree about the snow being an insulator. This past winter the only places that my poa died in the backyard after the Ethofumesate spraying were under the swingset and in areas where the snow drifted away from the house. In the spots that were covered from xmas through late February, none of it died and we got down to about 4 degrees for our low.

i'm talking irrigation winterizing, my expensive urea is sitting tight. "my guy" is the guy with the big compressor.

+1 The leaves are just starting to fall here, some haven't change color. Winterizer? I need to mow first. What the... I still have white patches - Tenacity.

I'm going to split wood until it gets too nasty to split wood, and then watch it snow. When it stops on Sunday, I'll figure it all out. Yeah, that's it. Sounds like a plan.
