During WWII, the two rasputitsa/mud seasons generally were the only times the eastern front was slightly quieter and these seasons significantly impacted both sides.
Summer and even Winter generally saw numerous offensives by contrast.
During the first year, in October 41, Barbarossa and operation Typhoon (Battle of Moscow) stopped temporarily in part due to the rasputitsa, and only resumed when the ground froze in early November (incidentally giving time for the Soviets to reorganize the extremely weakened front protecting Moscow).
The soviet Winter offensives mostly stopped around the Spring rasputitsa, Case Blue and other initial battles only started only in late April 42. and after Stalingrad, the Soviet reconquest of the South during the 42/43 Winter stopped again around Spring 43, with offensive operation only restarting in July 43 (Battle of Kursk).
There are of course many other factors explaining these pauses (offensive strength exhausted, over-extended supply lines, etc), but rasputitsa was definitely a factor.
