Icy lawns

[Twinkle]

I grew up with warnings about staying of the lawn when it is icy to avoid damaging the grass. As a child I half resented that as my desire to play outside was more important. Now I find myself repeating the cycle from the nagging perspective! Does it really matter though?

Seems to me it depends on the turf and the soil. If you have a grass with a shallow root and a soil like clay then I could see where your lawn might not look the same in the spring as it did in the fall if you have kids running and playing on it.
What do I know, I live in Florida?

Our lawn is snow-covered, but we keep the kids off of it when the grass shows through. Especially in the spring when the snow begins to melt, their ATVs can really tear up the lawn.
