I might kill for a good goat vindaloo right about now.

Also, you may recall I interviewed a few weeks back with a forklift company and they are still advertising. I went through a recruiter last time, I applied directly today because why not? Autonomous forklift software would be pretty cool to work on.
Good idea @Adventurous on stealing a Zillow pic to save needing to go outside. Yellow badly depicts where the underground pipe runs. It freezes somewhere around where it turns the corner bottom middle to cut across in front of the doors. The water comes through the wall right near that corner to the right of the downspout as you look at the photo. On the far left of the photo is a large tall retaining wall.
edit: Jozz, there was still ice blocking the pipe when we rented the camera. Going to need to do it again once it's clear.

I used something like this to get water to drain away from our foundation.
Can't you cut it 4' off the ground.
That way you'd have the height to move it far enough away to keep it on the down slope (and/or add another piece to the end....)
get up for the downstroke slope, everybody get up.

Actually, I'm in MSP in the process of driving back to MT having spent ~2 weeks back east [NY, NJ, MD, DC] catching up with friends, hiding from sub-zero freedumbs and watching a few Terps basketball games in College Park.
4-1 so far [Thanks Obama] with one more game tomorrow.
If I had a rocket launcher.
The slope of the terrain means you want it draining to the right side of that photo where the current pipe is supposed to take it. It's a big slope coming down from the left hand side behind that retaining wall.
dammit! was just about to say that.
@jstuhlman Your peeps ? Lol Gastonia.

Jeebus. You guys are getting my water anxiety going. Dealing with shoddy gutters, drainage and road construction right now.
I should just buy an excavator…

Cold hard truth? You're fucked.
Even if you have a perfectly level pipe going down at a perfect slope you are dealing with barely above freezing water. When it runs under your plowed walkway and driveway it will freeze. As more water comes down it accumulates to the point that it fills with ice. After it happens you are screwed for the rest of the winter.
Solution 1, heated cable full length of pipe.
Solution 2, find another location for gutter downspout location.
Some Bridgestone all season something’s.
@stoney I know, convincing mrs ringle that a pilot is what she needs is the problem. If it was up to me we would have a mini van.
Close.... feed it into an ice making machine and then sell it on etsy as artisanal natural 100% vegan mountain rain water.
Perfect compliment for Sunday afternoon gluten free fancy pinky out cocktails.
The in-between is the Passport. The Pilot is a lot of unnecessary SUV. For the four of us (+ gma 1-2x/week) it's excessive. If she wants something bigger, but not that big, look Passport. Also look at a Lexus GX. It the luxury life, buy a 4-runner in root. The V8 will outlive the chassis given salt out there.
