What is wrong with my lawn?

Here is the quick history:
Bought our house 1 yr ago. Was vacant for two years. The lawn was in bad shape. We live near St.Louis, MO.

Last year I did a soil test (store bought) and bought appropriate fertilizer. I also planted new seed in bare areas. As the season went on the lawn filled out more but not completely. I watered the lawn weekly. Mowed with the deck high. I left clippings in the lawn. I also put out the grub killing seed. In the fall I threw out some more seed for the winter.

We had a horrible winter. Very cold and lots of snow (for this area).

Now the brown spots are back in the same areas as last year. The grass in STL just turned green about a week ago. Is the brown grass in my picture dead or just hasn't turned green yet?

I believe I have tall fescue, but not sure. I have another post to verify grass type.

Thanks in advance for your help!
