Rain year 2013-14 report: not very wet in Menlo Park

Here is my rainfall report for the 2013-14 rain year that began on July 1, 2013 and ends today:  9.55″ fell in my Menlo Park backyard. That compares to 16.50″ in the 2012-2013 rain year.

Local weather watchers may be reminded that there have been worse rain years: 8.2″ fell in the 2o06-07  year.

In the last 10 rain years, I have collected over 20″ four times.
