Record Rain

By icefogger

This afternoon’s rain shower officially put the Summer of 2014 in the books for the wettest summer on record in Fairbanks. The 11.62″ of rain broke the 1930 record of 11.59″.

  Just imagine if it continues to be a wet fall…our roads will again be skating rinks!

  Pete, I’d prefer to avoid that scenario this year.

  Rosh, I did read your post on the 100 year Korean record. Strange, wet, times indeed.
