That's an indication of flooding. A sticking fuel injector would be the first thing to look for. Pull all the plugs and look for one that is dark from running too rich.

No, it's not blown rings. Ignore that comment. It's excessive fuel. It could even be just the cold weather and too many short trips. I would change the oil and watch what it does after that.
