Default too late to seed?

Is there still time to put down grass seed (and have it germinate and
survive) in the northwest corner of Baltimore, MD? We're expecting our
first frost tonight, and were darn close last night. Would mid or late
September have been the best time to seed, or is the fact that established
grass still growing actively, and mowing is still necessary, mean that any
seeds and sprouts would be displaced or harmed by the mower?

The landscpaper wants to seed within the next week (rake bare spots and
dead areas before seeding them, and overseeding the rest of the lawn), but
would I be better off waiting until spring? If so, when is the best time
to seed in spring in this area?

Thanks,


Alan
