	Mud season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mud Season is a term used to denote a time period in late Winter and early Spring.
		It is regarded in some northeastern states within the United States as both a curse and a blessing because, although it is generally a messy time of year, it is an interlude between the standard tourist seasons of summer (hiking), fall (leaf peeping), and winter (skiing).
		Mud season occurs only in places where the ground freezes deeply in winter, is covered by snow, and thaws in spring.

		Higher elevations tends to have this freezing thawing almost every night during the "mud season" Walking on a steep section of this partially frozen soil rips, oh, a tenth of an inch or so off.
		Even if the users were not present on steep slopes during mud season, erosion would occur nonetheless, because the trail is devegetated, the soil on the trail is compacted, and running water from snow melt will flow over the trails surface and erode the soil from the trail.
		The greatest water damage to trails occurs during July and August, not during 'the mud season'.

	Mud-Season Tires
		These voids also keep mud from clinging to the tire and diminishing its ability to bite the road.
		A mud tire’s tread blocks and voids are even more aggressive than those on all-terrain tires, giving it big cleats to claw through the goo and mire—a huge advantage if you spend most of your time off-roading or if you use your truck solely to tool around on your deer lease.
		The mud tire’s hard tread compound won’t grip the street as well, either, especially in wet-weather conditions.

	In Maine, mud season as full of 'pith' as before - Katherine Heidinger
		Around this time of year, when one was taking out the dogs - or the wash - in the early morning after another all-night drizzle, downpour or merely steady rain, he or she (or both) wore "mud pattens" to facilitate walking on mud, as on a clam flat.
		To further dispute the venerable Gould, the term "mud season" actually has gained in "pithiness," we think, as well as in other colorful adjectives since paved roads, because it is in that irony Mainers now drive between gullies that could crash their trucks or submerge their kids' bicycles, or go axle deep in a pothole-turned-crevice-turned-abyss.
		I'm not sure what term adequately describes John Gould's "mud season" today: when the team isn't suspended but mired down; when folks don't even know what a lully is. Perhaps a new term by another legendary Maine writer, Stephen King, could better fit the bill.

		She agreed that hereabouts, we do indeed have not four but six seasons (summer, fall, fall mud season, winter, spring mud season, spring...) She also noted something I'd forgotten: that spring mud season this year was mercifully quick and easy, a poor excuse for the usual March-April misery.
		Human consciousness, after all, is magnificently selective: if we got one good Mud Season followed by one exceptionally bad one, we'd be sure to note and remember the pattern, while if we got two good Mud Seasons running, with no zero-sum balancing act, we probably wouldn't notice.
