We finished around 80” in 2021 with most of that before the end of July.

Record for a year was 90” in 2016 after the massive flood.

No idea, but I’ve dumped out my overflowing 5 inch gauge a couple of times since 7/1. And more coming down right now.

If only there was a website you could type in this question and get instant results.


I did the tough research and was given about 165,000 results in 0.60 seconds.

We haven’t gotten a lot of rain this year.

It looks to be between 33 and 36 inches, depending upon where it was measured. It just seems like a ton because 75% or so of that total has occurred from about the end of June through today. Almost 2 months of daily rain has made us forget it was relatively dry for the first (almost) 6 months of the year.

August has to be way more wet than normal.

This site says 36” for the year. Seems low. Especially with 142” average. Rained half the days of July and Aug. Also seems low. 18” between those 2 months so far which I can believe we’ve had half our total the last 2 months.

As of the numbers I ran yesterday, I think:

2022 BR Year to Date

January - 2.16"  Normal - 6.36"
February - 2.13" Normal - 4.42"
March - 3.69"  Normal - 4.46"
April - 3.25"  Normal - 5.08"
May - 3.94"  Normal - 5.23"
June - 3.25"  Normal - 6.45"
July - 9.30"  Normal - 5.09"
August - 8.44"  Normal - 6.37"
                           Normal YTD - 43.46"
YTD - 36.16"
                      BR is 7.30" Below Normal YTD

That's using the main BR observation site.

Not sure, but we were well below the annual average a month or two ago

COCORAHS can give citizen reported amounts. It only let's you do ranges of three months at a time, but you can do a few ranges and add the totals.
