Olympia falls short of precipitation record

OLYMPIA, Wash. Washington's capital city fell just short of a monthly record for rainfall.

During November, 19-point-67 inches of precipitation fell at Olympia Regional Airport.That's just shy of the city's all-time wettest month -- at least since 1948, when weather observers began taking readings at the airfield.The wettest month on record at the Olympia airport was January of 1953, when there were 19-point-84 inches of precipitation. But some weather watchers note that January has an advantage in the race for wettest month: It's got one more day than November.

I actually can't believe that we didn't set the record last winter when we had that long stretch of rain -- 36 straight days, I think.
