Re: Fertilizer
Not specifically, but looking at the label, it's a good nitrogen fertilizer.
It has 30% slow-release iron, so I kind of disagree with the "perfect for winterization" bit of their labeling. It's OK for winterization and fine for you in Virginia. I wouldn't use it from the PA/NY border and northward, or Ohio and northwest, and I'd think about it from mid-state PA and westward.
It has 2% iron, so your lawn should green a little just from that.
I usually use good, cheap urea (46-0-0) with no iron, but this year used Vigoro Super Green (35-0-5) with 5% iron, which is comparable with the Lesco fertilizer you're talking about due to pandemic issues.

Re: Fertilizer
Morph,
You didn't mention Eastward (Southern New England) but for anyone reading, I'll add that I find that having a methylene urea component to the winterizer is helpful where I am specifically.
Polymer coated urea, not so much. It doesn't do well with the repeated freeze-thaw cycles we get here.

Re: Fertilizer
I don't really have much experience up in the Arctic, so I couldn't speak there. Most coated urea would crack in the freeze-thaw cycles and simply become fast urea anyway, so even here in PA, my slow urea is now much faster urea. I encourage that by mowing immediately after application anyway.
