cutting grass during frost damages the plant
Mr Picky says "Of course it damages the plant - you are cutting it!"

Does it damage a lawn more than cutting it when it is soggy and wet?
I think you do more damage to the lawn structure and the grass by
churning it up in wet soggy conditions. A quick flymo over a hard
lawn tidies it up a treat in my experience.

Treading on frozen grass breaks the cells and kills the stems; you
can often see footprints over a lawn for many weeks after a thaw.

I'll have to remember that, this weather.
