WARNING: This spreadsheet summarizes data collected from 2001 until 2005, because this coincides with a period of intense drought precipitation averages are unlikely to reflect long term averages.

Monthly average precipitation is likely highly skewed from long term averages since most precipitation fell in rare and localized events.

Due to technical difficulties precipitation due to snow fall may be under measured.

This data is provided "as is" and no warrantee as to accuracy is expressed or implied.
