Lawns in Snowy Weather

Snow is great fun for the kids (and the big kids) but be slightly wary if you want to have a beautiful lawn later on in the year.

Having snow on your lawn isn't really an issue, but a fungal disease called snow mould can develop once the snow thaws.

The snow mould most commonly develops where dense areas of snow have been piled up, such as in the spot where a snow man has been built (remember your snowman is usually staring in at you through the window long after the ground covering has gone!), or if you've cleared your paths or driveways and built up piles of snow on the lawn.

Try and avoid this because the snow mould can kill areas of the grass.
