>-The word for that specific time when the roads turn from ice to mud.

Time or quality of substance? The period when .... is called "rasputica".

>-The word for frost that forms on a beard or on hair.

You mean real frost? That would be "inej", same as on grass in early
morning frost, the counterpart of the dew.
