My guess
is that the top of your house is not airtight, so the warm air seeps out around windows and doors and such. Neither is your basement airtight, so air seeps in around things there.

The result is that your house acts something like a chimney, with the warm air drawing the cool air up from below- and the area around that opening has the cool air coming up in a fountain from it.
