We have had decent weather but last week we had 4 inches of snow. Snow now melted. Pretty wet and muddy yet though. Upper 30's Monday and Tuesday. From there 40-50 after that. I know I could aerate but can I oversees yet? These areas are football field and practice fields.

Good points. 3 or 4 years ago the USDA tweaked the hardiness zones. So now (Des Moines, IA) where I'm at is the same hardiness zone as northern Missouri, northern Kansas, southern Nebraska, etc.

Combine this with 3 years in a row with unusually hot/dry summers, turf-type tall fescue has become the norm at the I-80/I-35 corridor.

You are most likely correct. I just wanted to explain to others that jumping on the TTTF train isn't the correct thing to do everywhere.
