The winter that won't end

Our little river was rising significantly and turning into a big river until...until the cold March storm hit. It started as rain and thunder, transitioned to ice and then snow. Now the river is resting again, asleep until winter's claw releases control of the season. But the basement of our house continues to seep. I think the soil is well on its way to thawing out, even if above ground winter has the day.
