I will not mow the grass in the rain

As we all know the growth of grass stagnates during the winter, but rejuvenates as spring approaches. My grass is now coming out of hibernation and beginning to sprout up at an alarming rate. It is always a good idea to keep on top of such situations in order to avoid the grass becoming too high, thus making the shear volume of grass difficult to deal with. Unfortunately this is not so easy at the moment. Recently we have been experiencing rain every day, which really is a problem. Not only does the rain help to aid the grass in its growth, but makes it very difficult to handle. Apart from the obvious reluctance to mow the grass while it is raining, it is not viable to mow it between rain showers either. I have done this is in the past and the damp grass sticks to the lawnmower. It can be rather laborious manually removing the blockages in the mower caused by the grass, plus it results in having to totally dismantle the mower afterwards to clean out all the grass adhering to the rotor and other parts. I need a few dry days so that the grass will dry and I can eventually cut it.
