Minimum Temperature For Grass Seeding?

It is early spring in this part of the world. There was some
obvious frost around 6:30 AM a few days ago.
Tommorrow's forecast is a low of 8 degrees Celcious, and a
high of 15. Similar range for the rest of the week. Off-and-on
sun and clouds, which is normal here.
I have some bare patches on the lawn, and I am wondering how
long I should wait to reseed the grass. Meaning in terms of
temperature range.
I already spread some granular fertiliser about a month ago, and
some lime around the start of winter. My office is at home, so I
can go out and water as often as needed.
Thanks...

Grass needs soil temps in the 50s to germinate. That then depends on
air temp, sun, wind, etc. That generally translates to daytime air
temps with highs of around 60. You probably want to wait a couple
weeks or so. Being a bit early won't hurt, but it does mean you
would have to keep it wet longer, until it gets going.
