Jm, I'm not an expert here's. One early December day, I used some fill dirt to repair a small section of the yard. After leveling the dirt I used a 3 ft wheelhorse disk to put groves in the dirt. Spread lawn seeds by hand. Next day winter set on . Cover seeds with snow. I thought the worst. Next spring after the ground warmed up I had the best lawn you could ask for. The groves made by the disk is where the seeds ended up. Like I planted seeds in a row.
That said seeds need to be covered with a little dirt or packed a little. I would use a culitpacker after ground thaws.
Next week will be above freezing temperatures for first time in a spell. Next week they are adding days of rain too. So I have about 8 inches of SNOW on top of frozen ground and add rain. The water isn't going to soak in, it's going to run off . That potentially would wash seeds away.
Again I'm no expert when it comes to grass. One reason I like zosya grass in lawn . Get it started and it's good to go.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
