What does it look like?
Gray snow mold is a patchy lawn affliction, highlighted by blotches of tan or light-gray grass, 2 inches to 2 feet in diameter, with a pink tinge around the edge.
When is a lawn susceptible?
Similar to pink snow mold, it forms during extended periods of snow cover, especially when snow covers unfrozen ground. Any lawn that endures a prolonged snow cover is susceptible.
How can we get rid of it?
Gray snow mold patches fade with the spring grass growth. You can expedite the process by breaking up the areas with a rake to get light and water to the plants. A balanced fertilizer in the fall also will help keep outbreaks down, just be sure to avoid too much nitrogen late in the season.
