    i was going to give mine a trim this weekend as the weather had been mild and it needs one. then temperatures dropped here on tuesday and on wednesday we had a pretty heavy snow fall overnight. so i'm going to leave it another week at least..

    I'd go along with that, though maybe a lesser cut. I've a sneaking thought at the back of my mind that I was told once for the first cut to go no shorter than 1/3, as the shock of a harsher cut can stunt the growth of some of the grass.

    Mind you, no lawn at the moment, so can't put it to the test
