Comparing Rainfall Totals

Those of you that braved the rains out on the course this past weekend and love trivia, here's a tidbit of information for you to chew on: our on-site weather station recorded 2.48" of rain between Friday and Saturday, with most of it coming down on Saturday.

Out of curiosity, I decided to pull up some old weather data records from 2011 and 2012 to see how the fall rains stack up to what we have experienced thus far in 2013.  Many of us consider September to the kick-off of the fall season so, I took a look at the time period between September 1st through November 31st for all three years.  Here's how the data stacked up:

• September-November 2011:  19.08" Rainfall
• September-November 2012:  11.21" Rainfall
• September-Present 2013:  18.69" Rainfall (Through November 17th)

We still have thirteen days of data to add to the November 2013 rainfall records, however, to-date we are only 0.40" from beating the 2011 rainfall record and have already incurred 7.48" more rain than we did in 2012 during this time period.  Needless to say, I think we are on-track to end up beating the rainfall totals for the previous two years by a lot.
