If the ground is still wet and thawing you have to wait for it dry out. Usually most rake the grass first. Remember it is not good to do it when the ground is wet. And you should not do it until the grass starts to grow. This guarantees good strong roots are in place and you wont be damaging your established lawn. Other wise you are risk pulling up and damaging the grass.
What can you do otherwise. If the ground has thawed enough you can go ahead and turn up the soil in your existing flower beds and dig up new ones.
Fill any low lying areas in your lawn so they are ready to be seeded when it is time. I live in canada so there is not alot I can do at this time. i started my seeds in side already though, have you started yours? Hope this helps, have a good one!

It is usually a good idea to put out weed and feed on your lawn early to give the grass nutrition as it is coming out of hibernation or dormancy. Loosen the soil a little bit around you flowers and shrubs and fertilize them also.
