Now is the time to put in some grass seed

Spread seed of cool-season grasses (rye and fescue) to fill in areas where grass has died in your lawn. Thick grass won't allow weeds a foothold like bare soil would during the spring. To prepare the lawn, cut grass short. Spread seeds and keep moist during dry periods. The cool-season grasses will be strong in the spring, thus not allowing weed seeds a place to germinate.

You can redo a whole lawn or just over seed the lawn grass you have if it's not think enough. It should sprout now and in the spring and surprise you with new growth.
