Well this “Ridiculously Resilient Ridge” has officially made the headlines , the Governor of California came out and issued a state of emergency … and it’s only January… the middle of the normally rainy season !

One look at Lake Shasta in Northern California in the picture above says it all !  Ouch … that is not pretty !

If you take a look at the US Drought Map you can see that most of the western half of the country is at some level of distress, with California at Extreme Level and Oregon already at Severe .

I think we can classify this as a fairly major situation underway and place it in the “Earth Changes” section of the site , along with things like the Japan Earthquake and the extreme and odd weather patterns we are experiencing globally .

This High Pressure ridge parked off the west coast of North America that has been dubbed the “Ridiculously Resilient Ridge” has the so called experts scratching their collective heads , no one really has an answer as to when this things is going to go away and allow the normal flow of moisture to return , sadly the wet winter months are already behinds us… it’s not looking good !

Going into to the summer months in this condition is going to be unlike anything we have ever seen in modern times. What does mother Earth have in store for us , I don’t know , no one does, I know universe uses everything and I am trying to figure out what  the silver lining is in this slow motion disaster.

Have you heard about this !  Have your heard about the “Ridiculously Resilient Ridge”… well let me tell you my story !

As I chop more wood for the stove , I am in awe at the amount of wood I have gone through in the last 2 months , November and December were the driest coldest months I have ever experienced here in the PNW , and those that have lived here for 50 years would also agree.

For those that don’t know , PNW is the acronym for the Pacific North West , which is usually a temperate climate , and in my little neck of the woods , its technically a temperate rain forest , where normally we get over 80 inches of rain a year , I said normally, although I don’t think that term really applies anymore … to anything !

So we have been freezing up here and we haven’t had any rain to speak of ,  and I have gone through at least 5 cords of wood in 2 months to  keep the house warm and toasty , if you were to pile up 5 cords of wood , it would be one hell of a big pile .

Normally … we would have gone thorough less then half of that , as it would “normally ” be raining with temperatures in the 40’s and 50’s.
