It gets confusing.
Last winter (a year ago) we had a "record dry" dry season (in which under 4 inches fell from November to April).
That was followed by a "wet start" to wet season that ended on "dry note," even if for a full season (May-Oct), the 2009 wet season chimed in on the 30-year average of 43 inches ...
That puts us where we are today:
At the end of an unusually "wet" dry season.
That's turned what's usually a dry month of April into seeming more like July ...
At least that's how it looks from 500' up in a helicopter.

Your seasons are a bit confused aren't they? Actually I've been following your last few posts and they're something quite interesting!
Amazing that we didn't set any monthly records. But did we set the record for most rain from January-April?
I amazed that you get to fly around in a heli for a job. I'm just a little jealous, Bob.
That's a good point: on a month by month basis we didn't break any records, but from January to April it was the biggest rainfall in 40 years (since 1970).
