CIMIS rainfall data compared to Mt. Democrat rainfall data

 The CIMIS #13 data  has been collected since 1982   in the Camino/Fruitridge area .  The Mountain Democrat  has been reporting rainfall data since 1873 collected from a site off Missouri Flat Road at the current PG&E facility.  The PG&E site is at ~1,800' while CIMIS #13 is at 2,780'.  These sites are seperated by little over six miles.  The graph below compares the yearly totals since 1983 by subtracting the Mountain Democrat total from the CIMIS #13 total.  The CIMIS station averages 1.77 inches of rain more per year than the Mountain Democrat site.  The bottom graph shows the rainfall totals since 1873.  Remember, the rainfall year in California runs from July 1 through June 31.
