| 词条 | Mud season |
| 释义 |
A similar term, rasputitsa, is used in Russia and other Eastern European countries.[2] Mud season occurs in places where the ground freezes in winter and thaws in spring. Dirt roads and paths become muddy because the deeply frozen ground thaws from the surface down as the air temperature warms above freezing. The frozen lower layers of ground prevent water from percolating into the soil so the surface layers of soil become saturated with water and turn to mud. Mud season can be expensive for towns due to the damage done to dirt roads. One report concluded that the cost of improving mud season road conditions in New England can be as much as US$140,000 per mile.[3] Cultural referencesIn New England, the phrase "mud season" can be used as a shorthand reference to the vicissitudes and peculiarities of life in the region. The term has been used as the title of magazines,[4] books,[5] and at least one movie.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://newengland.com/yankee-magazine/living/new-england-nostalgia/mud-season/|title=Mud Season - New England' fifth season|website=newengland.com}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Mud Season}}2. ^{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=k-ASosvSGW8C&pg=PA91&dq=%22mud+season%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Zfn7Us3rFMbq2gXDp4GQCw&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22mud%20season%22&f=false |title=New England Weather, New England Climate |last=Zielinski |first=Gregory A. |last2=Keim |first2=Barry D. |date= |publisher=UPNE |year=2003 |isbn=9781584655206 |location= |pages=91 |language=en}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.basementmedicine.org/features/2016/04/14/mud-season-madness/ |title=Mud season madness |first=Ian |last=Major |website=basementmedicine.org}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://mudseasonreview.com/ |title=Mud Season Review |website=Mud Season Review}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.amazon.com/Mud-Season-Children-Chickens-Calamity/dp/1581572042 |title=Mud Season: How One Woman's Dream of Moving to Vermont, Raising Children, Chickens and Sheep, and Running the Old Country Store Pretty Much Led to One Calamity After Another |first=Ellen |last=Stimson |date=7 October 2013 |publisher=Countryman Press |via=Amazon}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0154908/ |title=Mud Season |date=24 January 1999 |publisher= |via=www.imdb.com}} 3 : New England|Vermont culture|New Hampshire culture |
