How wet has 2009 been?

It doesn't rain in southern California, but I can tell you where it is raining and that is here in Chicago. March has come in like a roaring lion. Already this month 2.55" has fallen. At O'Hare on Saturday record rainfall occurred of 1.67" (in a 24hr period) breaking the old record of 1.41" set back in 1990. A general 2'4" fell across the area. For the year we sit at 7.10" (0.95" more at this time than last year which happened to be the wettest year).
