WINTER STARTS OFFICIALLY: Did you know today is the shortest day of the year? It is the winter solstice and the first day of winter. The great news is the days will (slowly) get longer from here on through June 21, the summer solstice! (correction send in by a commenter. I had actually posted July, my fault)...
DECEMBER PRECIPITATION: As of today, we stand at 4.9" for December 2009. Typically, we average just over 5". For 2009, our total stands at 75.19" and this is our second rainiest year ever behind 1998's total of 76.46". With the next round of showers expected later this week, we may approach the record before year's end. WOW!

Actually, the days get longer through June 21 - the summer solstice.
OOPS!!!!
Fast finger syndrome today. You are absolutely right, June 21st and not July. My fault...will make that correction. Thank you for pointing it out.
How do you have 75"? KBNA only has 57" on the year.

Or, in CoCoRaHS...I am station TN-PM-5, there are others in our county who've measured even more!
Crazy year indeed!
Did you get your station back online yet?
No, I'm driving back to Nashville tomorrow so I should get it back up tomorrow afternoon.
