Gray or speckled snow mold, proper name Typhula Blight. (Or mould. Canadians can't decide how to spell that one.) It's a mycelium that appears when the snow's been on the ground too long. It's showing on a lot of lawns right now, as the snow disappears.
It's sort of pretty, in a weird, Spanish-moss sort of way. It doesn't kill the grass, just damages the blades (and then hides for the summer).Are you seeing this where you live?

So funny, but we're still mostly snow-covered up in Ottawa. But I'll know what it is when I do see it this year! Thanks for identifying it and posting it.
