As to fertilizing...yes you should fertilize at least once in the winter and then water soon after...the plants still need the nutrients.

Fertilizing in winter is a waste of fertilizer. Winter rye is a northern (cool weather) grass and needs a good deal of water to germinate. In winter, the watering schedule should be cut back since the lawn is mostly dormant.
