My records are not trustworthy past May so curious if we are normal for the year despite the large summer deficit. MDT would be at 28" through August if you average out their norm monthly numbers. Expand I really should keep records in an Excel doc or something but I'm lazy. What's MDT at for precip this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I was thinking we were probably 5-6+ coming into the summer depending on locale. But for our yards, crops, and really the water level we are not even because the extra rain came when there was much less evaporation going on so when it started going downhill it feel off a cliff. Assuming Cashtown's 28" through Aug 31 but taking my locale into consideration we have only had 7-9" of rain here since May 1 so say 8". That means we had 20" of rain when we least needed it and 8" over 4 months when we needed it most. Result? Farmers filing claims for crop damage and wells running dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to this using MDT as the location, 3 of the top 4 snowstorms, amount wise, in history have occurred before February 1.
