There a a couple of properties of mine that I didnt get to lime due to early snowfall. Now that the snow has melted, should I do it now, or would it be better to wait until spring?

Do it now. Lime can be applied any time of the year. It takes lime anywhere from 3 to 6 months to make a change in the pH anyway. -
Now is fine, especially if the ground in your area isn't frozen yet. The freezing-thawing cycle of the ground over the course of the winter will help get the lime down into the soil....and like pow said it does take 3-6 months for te effect to u.,ccur.Comment

You need to do a soil test to determine how much and what type of lime is required.Comment

somewhere about a ton an acre, but being you live in an ACID-Rain zone I bet you'll take more. do you know your realitive PH?“There are some who, uh, feel like that, you know, the conditions are such that they can attack us there.

You want your pH to be as close to 6.5 as possible. Buy yourself a pH tester so you will know how many lbs per 1000 is needed.Comment
