My Dad used to seed in the winter on top of the snow. He could see where he
missed and he always had a treeific lawn.

A few years ago (before the Internet), I heard that overseeding a lawn here
in the DC area in January was a good thing to do. The idea was that the
seed would work itself into the soil during the daily freeze/thaw cycles,
and by spring it would germinate and thicken the lawn.

I can't find any references to this practice. Did I dream this, or is
this still practiced? Thanks.
