It is OK to put out phosporus and potassium, but not nitrogen, in the winter. The three numbers on the bag should begin with zero - example 0-15-10.

The fertilizer will stimulate growth of the grass. You do not want that at this time of the year. Wait until the very first part of spring.
It is not that the fertilizer will harm the grass because of cold weather it is that the freezing temps which are likely to come will harm the tender shoots which are growing in response to fertilizer applied at the wrong time of the season.

do not ever fertilize during winter months where there is the risk of ground freezing. it will keep the fertilizer from absorbing into the ground and will burn your lawn from to much concentration of fertilizer in one spot for to long a period of time. fertilizers need to be broken down over a short period of time and dispersed through water into the ground.

Save your fertilizer and your lawn until Spring.
