>>2765749>>2766297>>2766300The truth is true regardless of your choice to ignore it. Here's an example of how utterly braindead government data is. Every single posted source of theirs is inconsistent with their own advertised aggregated data. And this same pic related was actually higher (at 18.6 inches annual precipitation) until 4 years ago when someone fucked with the stats and removed older data.
And unlike you, I've actually looked at and compiled more than 5,000 pages of data like this for 500+ point stations and compared it with my own gauges. Everything, and I mean everything that the government tells you, is BULLSHIT at some level.
And the wikipedia pages compile data by mean precipitation for all years in the range and count years with MISSING data, MD years in NOAA/NWS data get a big fat 0.0 for the annual total for that year when you try to put NOAA/NWS data into the wikipedia table system, and the NOAA/NWS data itself is incomplete or BS to begin with from observed reality.
