You should if it needs mowing. If you leave it too tall it will be hard to rake in spring.

I would definitely mow it. Last year we had a major snowstorm in early October and my grass hadn't been mowed. In the spring, I had a difficult time getting it back in shape. I had to rake it to stand it up again, then mow, then rake again and mow again. In several spots I had complete winter kill due to mold under the heavy grass that was laid down by the snow.

Mow it now or wait for a break in the weather. The first snow should stop the growth till next year.

Generaly you will want to keep your grass cut a little shorter in the spring and fall months, and a little longer in the summer months. Grass if too long will wilt under snow pack, and it will take it longer to recover from the browning that will occur over the winter months if left too long.

Yeah, go ahead and mow. If it is too long, it will be floppy under the snow. Cut to normal height or slightly longer. Don't cut it shorter for "neatness." You'll expose the crowns to drying. If you don't get to it, don't fret.

It wouldn't hurt it any, but it shouldn't be necessary, unless it's really long.
