Wettest Year Ever for the Upper D

From December 2010 up until now, the Upper Delaware River had more than 71 inches or precipitation, exceeding a normal year by better than 27 inches of the wet stuff.

Deputy River Master Gary Paulachok calls it the wettest year on record.  Beginning with February 2010 the basin received above normal rainfall each month with August and September being off the charts.  Back to back hurricane remnants and tropical storms added to the unusually high numbers.
