New Well - Help!

I have recently drilled a new well at a summer home. Construction has been delayed and in the meantime winter's coming. I am still hoping to get a foundation put in before serious snow. My well is overflowing into the yard making it soft. Because I won't be putting in a pump till next spring what do I do with this well? How do I control the water that is coming out or stop it. The yard will be a skating rink or too soft for machinery to get in there and work. Any suggestions? I live in Nova Scotia and we sometimes have very cold winters will this hurt this well? Thanks for your help. Dutchie

In some areas you can just cap the well. Other areas it may seep up around the casing so you just have to divert the water to a different area.
