Still Trying to Get the Rain Right…

The last time I tried to correct the record, I must have walked away and come back and forgot what the hell I was trying to do. This time, I think I’ve got it right. That is the goal. To get the numbers correct, so here we go (again).

A quick note before I get to the graph, the hollering has died down a lot with regard to precipitation in New Hampshire. Several soakings from post-tropical depressions (we’ll call them hangovers) have had a notable effect on the narrative mills. We are no longer hearing about flash droughts and dry spells, it’s flash floods and rising water. Almost.

The almost is a reflection of the boring place we are at on precipitation. NOAA’s Jan-Aug data for New Hampshire has us just slightly above the 100 year mean.

September, so far, is looking a bit dryer despite the rainy days with only two days of rain predicted in the current ten-day forecast but we’re on pace for a relatively normal year at this point.

Subject to change with very little notice. The “experts” can barely predict a few days out in this incredibly complex system so skepticism about their skills with larger lengths of time is warranted.

That and how every solution to every imagined “problem” is socialism.

The predictions on that are in because we have over a century of actual evidence. The only problem socialism ever solved was how those in charge might best separate people from their rights and the fruits of their labors.
