I'm same area. VB. Yes, we can still seed. 3 weeks ago was optimal but
we'll have enough warm days ahead that it will germinate and get a decent
bed going before long term cold hits. We'll have a few cold days but it
doesnt really get cold until mid-December. This weekend will be wet and
rainy but that won't hurt it any.

Should be okay. Protect seed with straw.

Nope, he's way too far south to need that. Good choice for NJ or NY though!

Your nym indicates why you might be attracted to grass, but I must tell
you, one of the best things I ever did was rip out my lawn and replace
it with gravel, a small patio area, and low-maintenance native
ornamentals.

Now I can spend less time mowing the lawn and more time practicing my
12-ounce curls on Saturdays.
