I remember this from a coupld of mentions in the TV program 'China
Beach.' I just heard a local garden guru say planting grass seed
before the soil warmed up was an exercise in futility. While he didn't
say *not* to scatter it over snow, he did recommend not seeding 'til
close to the average last frost date. Before that time, you can apply
weed killer and have the soil tested for what ammendments it may
require.

A neighbor of mine seeded his lawn in January last year. He put down
fresh soil after first killing all existing grass. Then he seeded on top of
the new soil.

In early spring he had a lush, beautiful new lawn.

It works.
