“So far, we've had 7.36 inches (of rain) for the year. Normal is about 4.51, so we're well above it.”
John Adair
“Normally at this time of the year, we should have about 11.91 inches of rain. So this year we're way below normal, but it rained on the Rose Parade for the first time in 50-some years. And last year, we had record rains, and it didn't rain on the parade. So go figure.”
William Patzert
“By Tuesday, the storm should drop another inch of rain in the Willamette Valley and two to three inches of rain along the coast and the foothills of the Cascades.”
Bruce Sussman
“You've got a surplus so far for the year of just under an inch, which is good.”
Mike Berry
“The total for the year is only 19.46 inches. Of this amount, only .13 of an inch fell in December on three dates. The driest month of 2005 was November, when no moisture was recorded. The next driest month was April, with only .12 of an inch of rain.”
Stuart Chilton
“From midnight to 4 a.m., we recorded about 2 inches of rain and over a half-inch more from then until 8 a.m..”
