You're good. This cold weather will slow down the process and make you worry even more though.

I like to do my weed killing when it is hotter than hell personally.

This...What are you spraying? Most of the stuff here isnt growing right now anyway.I will likely bushhog and then spray in the summer.

You should be ok though.Roundup only needs a few hours to become rainproof.

The foot high weeds in my back yard disagree

Even the generic Roundup products are rainproof in just a few hours

No. Stuff is effective after an hour. Still early for roundup tho. You'll have to spray again anyway.

Maybe trying to kill weeds while his lawn is still dormant. I'm going to spray mine in a week or so. I didn't use any pre emergent and I'm starting to see some bluegrass after the warm spell we had last week

Poa annua? It's a cool season plant that will die when it warms up.

Can you guess where I mis-calculated my arch when spraying one of my ballfields with my pre-emergent?? Poa everywhere.
