I feel like we have had a particularly rainy year, and just out of curiosity I’d like to compare our current year-to-date rainfall to our average yearly rainfall. Turns out I can’t #$%^ing find this info anywhere. Can anyone help?

Weather Underground has [historical weather data](http://www.wunderground.com/history/). Once you’ve selected your location & a date at that link, you can switch to a “custom” view that will allow you to look at average & cumulative statistics over the year to date, including rainfall.
