Yes, you can cut your lawn anytime you want, winter (of course, most people don't have to in the winter), spring, summer and fall. Grass is not affected by frost or freezing. In the winter, it basically goes to sleep (in the northeast). The only problem grass has is if in the winter, there is not enough snow cover, the ground freezes real deep and roots of the grass can be damaged. But mowing and then having a frost is absolutely no problem. Actually, here is a hint--it is more dangerous to mow your lawn in the middle of the hot august dogdays than it is before a freeze. Lawns in the summer should be kept mowed to highest possible height to protect the soil and the tender roots of the grass.

No. The grass will snap rather than cut cleanly -- it's worse than cutting with a dull blade.

Let the lawn thaw up and dry out before cutting.

No. You only produce more moisture to freeze and therefore increase the damage done.

Watering before a freeze often helps the roots survive the frost. If you have a healthy lawn, albeit its being brown over the winter, it should be fine without water.

No. Grass naturally reduces its intake when the environment becomes less temperate. In addition the ground if soaked will only freeze at surface level which will not benefit grass shoots

Because the grass plants don't require as much energy to renew their growth as when they are cut a bit shorter. If grass was cut quite short, it takes more energy reserves and more effort for the grass to renew its growth to the point of maturity.

What number on the lawn mower determines how high you can cut your grass?

Usually, the higher the number, the higher the grass will be cut. The higher of which number? If you have a riding mower, the numbers will be on the slot where the the lever for the blades is located. If you have a regular push mower, there will be no numbers. In that case, the higher slot that you use will mean a shorter cut of the grass. Okay, what and where is the slot located?

Should you cut a dog's hair in the winter?

A dog's hair and fur protect it from cold in the winter, and from the hot sun and warm weather in the summer. This works OK for a dog, since they do not sweat like humans to lose heat. A dog's coat should be neatly trimmed for appearance, but not cut very much shorter. Heavy brushing in the Spring and in Fall is good to clean out dead or dying hair.
