Any recent news and pictures from Zeeland, ND? I would love to see them.

Are you buried in the snow, unc Woodrow?
 
Nice thread. Just curious as to what kind of internet service are you guys using?
 
Beautiful pictures, jazakhallah khair for sharing them. The place looks very peaceful, like Iowa (my university town, Ames, I miss it now imsad)
 
:sl:

The snows began on Oct 5. We had 9 snow storms in Oct. but then an unusually warm Nov. with very few days that went below freezing and no snow. All of October's snow melted. But Dec began with very cold weather we have not had a day in Dec that went above freezing. Most nights have been far below Zero. The lowest I recorded was 24 below Zero Farenheit. Very little precipitation Last week an ice storm hit, it changed to snow yesterday and the snow is expected to last at least another week with blizzard conditions begining on Wednesday night or early Thursday,

Here is the way the weather has been since last week, beginning with when the ice storm hit to yesterday.

The ice storms are tiny ice crystals, looks like dense fog and visibility cuts down to a matter of inches.

Looks like we will not be getting out of the house or rather out of the Winnebago for at least the next 5 or 6 days. Might be up to a month before the roads are open enough to get out of Zeeland to go for any Dr. Appointments. Might have to get a neighbor with a plane to fly us down to Fort Mead for Aabidah's next appointments.
 
It sure looks berrryyy cooldd... but strangely beautiful nevertheless.
So the one on the last picture is the winnebago where you and sister Aabidah live?
Hows the progress on the house renovation?
Thank you for sharing the pictures

Very poor and unreliable.

Until last month we were using wireless, but it was not reliable and got cut off line very often. We finaly had a cable run the 30 miles from Ashley and it is good high speed. I set up a wireless Linsky router in the house and am broadcasting short range wifi to the nearest neighbors.

The rennovation has come to a stand still. there is no heat in the house and too cold to do much. I did manage to put in some additional 10 gauge wiring so we have a few good circuits. Have electric and propane heat in the Winnebago and beside the generator in the Winnebago a portable one in the basement of the house.
 
Thanks For sharing , It seems very peacful n beautiful

Reminded me of Kalamazoo Michigan , I stayed there for about 4 years , went to western michigan university. Also a nice quiet town , we had beautiful towns near by like Paw Paw , South Haven etc , all really beautiful. Will Post some pics later InshahAllah.

Also my brother used to live in arkansas in a beautiful town called springdale , it was pretty nice too , realy quiet n peaceful.

I lived in a small Arkansas town for a few months and believe it or not the name was Hog Eye, wasn't very far from Pea Ridge. Yes, it was in the Ozarks.

Woodrow, may I post some pictures of my suburban London area?

I would love it if you did. As we all learn a little about where we live, the more we learn about each other.
 
That place looks like an ice-box-all-day-temperature!

I ever felt 4 degrees or -2 degrees in a particular country, but 50 degrees below+sn0w is just too extreme for me.

May Allah make you and your family be in warm conditions ^_^
 
Greetings,

Fascinating stuff, Woodrow - thanks for showing us all about your way of life. This is one of the most interesting threads I've seen for a long time. You certainly are a hardy soul putting up with winters like that!

Peace CZ,

Wait until I start putting posts from our times on the Rez I think I will toss some in here since it looks like we will be stuck in the Winnebago for about a week
 
OK, here's my immediate road, I may post some pictures of my actual town up later. I just took it, like in the past hour.

Very nice Supreme. How similar it looks like a scene from our North Eastern States (The New England States)
 
The houses look pretty big there, Masha'Allah.

The backyards etc must be humongous as well. Are there any swimming pools or community centers or anything...? Any recreational activities?
