So jealous, still have snow and ice here.
We're getting 8 inches of snow tonight.
Topsoil is saturated , grass hasn't woken up . Rained all of today. Raw wind off water 42 F
The 20 HP opposed-twin Briggs in my Scotts 46" rider lets out a HUGE cloud of smoke on "first start of the year" - but NEVER uses a drop through the season.
My first OPE "fire up" this year has been a Ryobi 38cc chainsaw. Started on the 2nd pull and ran perfect.

Fertilizer, mulch, mowing, borders, etc … getting most of it done ahead of the heat … and with the rain we have had plus very few nights below freezing … it's green here and the wildflowers are popping …

YMMV.
+1, wish I had more neighbors like you and this is way up north by Lake Erie where we get a fair amount of snow. But I've seen people running their mowers in December prob trying to get leaves up or something.

Fired up the craftsman tiller getting the garden plot ready, gona be putting the new carb on the ole Lawn Chief riding mower in a few weeks, it hasn't ran since last spring.
We are still below freezing here and we had a dusting of snow over the weekend.
About 90% of the snow is gone and the lawn is like mush. I have been looking for a new push lawn mower and the one I'm looking at is on sale till the 28th of March. I'm looking at the Toro super recycler with the Toro engine. 5 year warranty and if I buy the maintenance kit it goes to a 6 year warranty on everything.

Hey neighbor!
I've been "that guy" on the block this spring. Dabbled on small engine repair this winter to kill time. Picked up a few free lawn mowers to work on. Rehabbed a pretty nice self propelled MTD/Brute I've been wanting to use. No more leg powered pushing for this guy!

I fix small engines on the side so I've tested pretty much every brand of walk behind mower. My favorite is still the Toro Super Recycler with the personal pace.
