Probably not, if you live in Sault Ste Marie Michigan. Your lawn
there would probably be under about 4' of snow.

I live in Arlington Texas

Keep the mower sharp, just in case. I raised turnips and collards
during the winter when I was at San Antonio. Never spent a winter
near Big D.

It only takes a little while to mow the lawn and look at all the green
color you will have that few others have. It isn't nearly so hot
that time of year and far more pleasant to mow.
