A wet March so far
This CoCoRaHS station just recorded it's second highest 24 hr. amount of precipitation for March in three years at 0.45". The highest amount was last year, 2011, at 0.46". Both years were La Nina years which, around here, generally means cooler and wetter. You wouldn't know it by our snowfall this winter: 13.1" for 2011-12 (21.9" 2010-11).
