I have found a good website with a test of fungicides on just this problem
in the northeast. From what I hear there is no cure, looks like I am stuck
with prevention. Here is the site with the information.

Every winter I get a type of winter mold that kills off large patches
of
my
grass. Its is a sun and shade mixture for the northeast. I understand
how
to
prevent the mold by putting down expensive amounts of systemic
fungicide
just before the grass goes dormant. If I don't put it down as I didn't
last
year the mold returns and my lawn is very damaged. I want to know how to
cure it once and for all. Even if its an expensive cure, in the long run
it
would be cheap compared to the 120 $ application of fungicide every
fall.
Thanks a bunch William

Scotty,
I have the same problem and I am in the Northeast too. My research
indicates that too much nitrogen, at least near the end of the growing
season, makes the grass susceptible to snow mold. I will be mowing to a
1"
or so length this fall too. I usually mow the grass shorter but never
that
short so far.
Here are some pics of what my lawn looked like in early spring:

I have not found the solution. I would be interested to know what
fungicide
you used. Does It work? Were you able to get it without a license?
Good luck,
Jeff
