More basement woes!

I'm pretty sure Mr. MacLean didn't mean my basement! I went into the back part of the basement and found a raging river! Ok fine, maybe more a trickling stream but still, it's a basement! There shouldn't be anything running through it! Frozen ground, snow, rising temperatures, melting snow & rain do not add up well for a 100 year old foundation! (Sorry, correction, it's the addition that's leaking and that's ONLY about 90 years old.) It seems to have slowed down and is somewhat drying up. If it soaks my newly repaired furnace I'm gonna be po'd!

Attention... Windsor is closed!

At least I bet it is. The storm hit, hit good and is still hitting. This pic, taken from the comfort of my back kitchen, through the window, does not do it justice.

I'm glad I went out and did everything yesterday! Wonder if we'll be able to get out by tomorrow?

**EDIT** I just had to put on boots and a coat and go outside. The birds were sitting in Doug,(the pumpkin ash tree,) looking longingly at the bird feeder which was under several inches of snow. I cleaned it off and they are now happily munching on sunflower seeds. Oh, the snow is up to the screen door at the side. Luckily it was light and just pushed away. (That door is just above ground level, if it gets to the bottom of the front door, past the porch we're in trouble!
