Look under "Archived Articles" for "WIPE OUT DASTARDLY DANDELIONS." In the
last problem solver section dealing with snow mold, "Because the fungus that
causes snow mold becomes inactive in warm weather, there's not much point in
treating your lawn with a fungicide."

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.

awesome. Thanks for your help

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
