Checked out the amount of snow in the plot today. Well over a foot of snow yet. I would have thought the rain we got the other day would have knocked it down more. One pic is from the shed looking towards the plot the other the plot.

Looks good to overseed to me! I would want there to be snow so that I could see where I have spread!

Your ground is pretty flat, I don't think you have to worry too much abut runoff moving the seed.

Yesterday would've been a great day to frost seed my orchard but, I ran out of time. The winter rye has not woke up yet. You are wayyyyyyyyy ahead of us this spring.

Frost seeding doesn't work by me any year. period. It just isn't a tool I can use.

The turkeys always seem to find my plots right after I've spread seed. We have been getting snow snow every week but, it's been melting by the next day.

Its a combination of it usually doesn't freeze much after the snow is gone around here. The wetness. And the turkeys. It takes so much warm weather to melt the snow that by the time it is gone it usually is late enough you don't get much for cold weather anymore. Just the way it is.

If I were to try driving across my plot once the snow is gone and before it dries up I'd never make it.

Brad next year after gun season if you have a spot that you want to frost seed clover do it in early December. The seed will melt to the bottom of the snow and remain dormant until the snow melts in spring. I tried this in a small area a long time ago but it worked the same as doing it in the spring. I never had a problem with turkeys bothering clover seed when I frost seed.
