We’re forecasted too get 1.5” of rain through New Year’s Eve. Should be either #3 or possibly #2 wettest year on record.

I need it to be dry and frozen. My side by side is tearing the crap out of my trails...can't get up a couple of them which prevents me from hunting the higher elevations.

I found this, but it doesn’t tell me much beyond being above normal. I work outside...I knew that.

According to both of those links, we have made it to second as of now. With another inch forecasted for tomorrow, we might have a new record. Stupid rain...

- A soggy New Year's Eve storm could propel Columbus into the wettest year on record, with data extending back to 1879. The previous wettest year, in 2011, brought 54.96 inches of precipitation (rain, melted snow). If the city receives .80 inch or greater, this year will be a record-breaking year. The calendar year brought a wide variety of weather, which is not unusual, but the extremes were dramatic. A bitterly cold early January, with three consecutive subzero mornings, started the near year in 2018. However, it was followed by a very mild February. The script flipped in March and April with bouts of cold weather and snow showers. Frosty conditions prevailed as late as April 30 in the Columbus area. Then came the rain --frequent and heavy -- during the growing season from May through October, with eight substantial rain events in excess of 1.5 inches. Temperatures ran well above normal through the summer and early autumn, until a pattern change on Columbus Day. Winter seemed to get off to an early start with very chilly weather and snow showers in November, but December closed on the mild side, and less than a half-inch of snow for the entire month.

When you walk across your field and on the top and sides of the hills there is standing water everywhere. It was more like walking through a swamp. It is crazy how much water there is here.
