Is it too late in the year to aerate the lawn and reseed and then winterize ?

Time is perfect, use some inexpensive rye grass seed, lots of water, it should germinate in 10 days max. then dry it up fast. Mow a stripe pattern in it, very attractive lawn.
Watch out for pythium blight, spray some daconil 2787 to stop warm weather pythium if you see any signs of it. Wait about 2 or 3 weeks and fertilize with potassium, something like 2-5-20
mix, or 0-2-15, to help with winter health.
You can aerate anytime until the ground freezes, gets air to the root system, relieves compaction.

I'm in Stark Co. and the weather report looks good for next week. Now is a good time to do it before winter. If the weather changes and it rains just make sure the ground isn't so wet the plugs will not pull out of the ground.
It's not the best time to reseed after an aeration. Seed that gets buried will not grow. Winterizer is OK now however.
