So I at least know that the May 2009 total you posted is incorrect. Are these numbers your own?

I don't reject your premise but remember that the local area has hundreds of golf courses and we all receive about the same rainfall.
Russ,
That's true. Was that TS Fay? I got the figures from a search for historic weather data for TV. The site for the actual rainfall was weather-warehouse dot com. The source for the average rainfall per month was from weather dot com I believe.

Makes me wonder if a decimal point was misplaced on the site. I have rechecked the site and I transposed the figures correctly to my spreadsheet.

Carl Loper at WVLG made the same comment about all of TV receiving about the same rainfall, but there are times when it comes down in buckets in Spanish Springs and the sun is shining at Lake Sumter. But I guess it all evens out.

Thanks.
