Rain: More rain

We've had another 2.5 inches of new precipitation at my location since last reporting, most of it in a deluge on the very cold night of February 23. That brings our total to 29.65 inches. More rain is in the forecast. 

[As of 1 March, we've had an additional 2.15 inches of new rain. That brings our total so far this rain year to 31.80 inches. As average annual rainfall is about 36 inches in Santa Rosa historically, this is shaping up to be at least an average year, but I suspect we'll go above the average as more rain is forecast in the coming 10 days.]

[Since last reporting, we had another 3.05 inches of rain and then again last night (March 9) we had an additional 2.05 inches. That brings our total now to 36.90 inches, which is very close to the historical average. Between March 9 and March 12 we had more rain, but I lost track of what was in the rain gauge, so now I'm unsure of the total. I emptied out 3.25 inches on the morning of March 13, but I think 2.05 inches of that was already recorded, so I'm guessing we had an additional 1.2 inches, so I'm going to assume the total is now 38.10 inches. More rain is forecast for tonight and into tomorrow.... People are starting to get a little tired of all the rain, but the more we get, the better off we'll be in the long run.]
