Winring? Sprinter?

What do you call this season? We're not 'technically' into Spring yet according to the calendar but when the temps are consistently above 40, the snow is disappearing daily, and the kids start playing outside without jackets, then it's certainly not Winter anymore. Right?

What do you call this season? When the driveway becomes a mudbog of epic proportions, my only shoe option is a pair of rubber mud boots, and we have a temporary sidewalk going from the house to the main vehicle to bridge the soupy mucky mess that is my parking area?

Yes, what do you call this season? This season when we have more than a hint of spring in the air, mud almost as far as the eye can see, yet you wake up in the morning (as I did this morning in fact) and are greeted with a dusting of s.n.o.w. and ice covered puddles.

This in-between stage when Winter is struggling to stick around yet Spring is nudging that old man out the door. If you mush the seasons together and delete the awkward sounding letters in the middle (sort of like how celeb couples are nicknamed), you are left with two options-Winring or Sprinter. What's your opinion?

Winring?
 Sprinter?
Or should we just forget the mish-mash name and simply call this in-between season Mud?
