More Rainfall Trivia

I recorded 1.94 inches of rainfall at 8:30 this morning, and it was still raining.  That is about one inch more than Mariton received for the entire month last year.  Granted, March '06 was extremely dry.  (The 10 year average is 3.87 inches.)

In February, we received 2.13 inches of precipitation.  (2.82 inches is average.)  What is interesting is that we received 2.13 inches in February '06 also.  That is the first time I have recorded the same amount of rainfall for a given month.  The idea that it came in consecutive years is even more unlikely.

When it stops raining, today's total (less than 24 hours of precipitation) could come very close to the amount received for all of February.
