Yes. The Molehills had caused the snow on the lawn to be so very uneven ;-)

I did wonder if a rotary mower with the front lifted would work as a
snow plough and blow the snow sidways to cleare a path.

Miss, Miss, please Miss!

On 3/1 I wrotted

Our next door neighbor is cutting his lawn !


I've done that in the past. If you've let the grass get a bit too
long, it's good to cut when the ground is frosted. You don't churn
the undersoil into a soggy mess and does the grass no harm in my
opinion.

yes but getting it then when frozen does more damage plus walking on frozen
grass kills the cell structure causing black footprints in extreme cases.
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.

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.
