Problem with new sod and rainy weather
 

I live in Alberta, Canada.
I had plan to lay sod on my empty lot, but because of rain and cold
weather (9 C) I have manage to put sod on part of my lot. There are
areas that I cannot walk on as they are so much muddy. Walking on
these areas causes unevent surfaces. I have got sods two days ago, and
for the last two days there have been continuouse rain. I was told
that I could wait for 2-3 days till soil becomes solid so I can put
the sod. However, some body told me that I need to lay sod ASAP as
waiting for good condition can harm the sod. The temperaure would be
close to 16 C for the next couple of days and overcast.
What do you think? Any advice.

thanks a lot

As long as the unlaid sod stays moist in shade, it should be fine.

Won't the sod go bad quickly if it is stacked on a pallet, even in moist
shade? I though it would just start composting after a few days.
