Simple realy if its frozen keep off it. Thats another reason why golf
courses have temp greens for frosty days.

Golf course greens are mowed very short, like 0.25" all year. Yes,
walking on them can leave marks.

My lawns, left at 3 - 4 inches at the start of winter, don't mind me
walking on them at all and I shall merrily take off their top tuffs
when hard but clear of snow. In fact. I might give them a go when
0.5" of snow remains, it'll disperse it nicely, I'm not aiming for
best kept sward in the village.

that will certainly keep up your title of the village idiot if nothing else

I say, Wonk, I haven't got a lawn, but can I join in?

Of course, I thought you had.
