How Does This Year's Precip Measure Up?




While we've had almost two and half inches of precipitation for the month of December, it has been rather dry recently in the Quad Cities. Right now, we are about 3 inches below normal for the year. 2012 is just days away and there are only a few more very small chances for some rain and snow.

In 2010, we had 44.98" of precip, so far in 2011 we've measured 34.58". That's about a 10 inches less when compared to a year ago.

Most of this year's rain fell during the spring, in April and May when many folks were dealing with flooding along the Mighty Mississippi.

October has been our dryest month this year. During October we only managed to get 0.67" of precip.
