The west is drying out and the east is getting more wet. They just raised our local "average rainfall" by 4" per year as it has been increasingly more and more wet here. The last few years, we have ended the calendar year sometimes 10+ inches of rain above normal. 60+ inches of rain per year is not uncommon here anymore. In 2020, our official total was 70.36". You guys out west are welcome to some of this.  |
I would have been happy to donate about 35" of rain to anyone in 2017
