Having grown up in Michigan, I know that, in the winter, straw-colored
lawn is normal. Any green grass during a Michigan (or Minnesota, where
I also have lived) winter is pretty unusual. Don't fret over it. When
warm, rainy weather returns, then you can expect green grass. In the
meantime, enjoy the snow!

Yeah it's really not the time of year to be studying and getting the
best results from that study. Just wait till April and make your
assessment then
