Is anyone mowing grass yet?  With the daytime highs here in north WV around 70 every day for the past 2 weeks, Im actually thinking I may not make it until April until I really have to mow the grass.  Most of the time we dont start until mid April or so.  Crazy nice weather we are having for this time of the year.

yep. Hit 85 here yesterday. Got 3.5 inches of rain two weeks ago so everything is green and growing.

I've already plowed my field twice and it needs it again today. I've been spraying weeds for 4 weeks.

Mine needs it right now but I made sure too screw it up really good last year  :funnyturkey: and have been banned from touching the mower ever again. Looks like the Mrs. got herself a yard to mow.

It's been crazy warm in WI.  We've been breaking record high temps by 10 degrees on some days.  Still not having to mow yet but that may change soon.

I mowed last week, it needed to be done the week before that. Temps have been in the 80's this week.

I have been holding off.  But its been crazy warm in the upper 70's, its green and its growing I just can't accept mowing in March.  Heck I feel weird mowing in April but it will have to be done.

Now this is WI though and we can be in the 20's with snow in a few days lasting  till July :TooFunny:
