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.
