Frost seeding failure??

So I seeded two acres yesterday morning pretty heavily with ladino, chicory, alice white and kopu II. The next 24 hrs are supposed to be pretty wet and rainy. Whats my outlook? Did I just blow a few hours and a handful of money?
 
I personally think you'll be just fine. Dbltree may have a different take. :)
For some reason, when I frost seed clover, it doesn't look super successful until the 2nd year, I'm not sure why that is.
 
It will depend on how hard it rains and if you have a lot of run off. Slow rain with minimal run off you will be fine.
 
Just have to wait and see. I always frost seed my clover and have never not have it come up. I did a couple acres last week and have a couple more to go.
 
As long as it doesn't wash away the seed or pool the seed into dense pockets you will be fine. In fact the rain is a good thing as it will help drive the seed into the ground and you should have an excellent crop.
