Longest streak between 1/2" rain was in 2001. 87 days.. So September 21 they got 1/2"+ of rain, then had to wait until December 17th to get that again. Wow

Nice analogy!

It appears Concord, NH will miss the rain again, extreme moisture deficits are mounting in the short-term in that area.
Rain has impacted areas south and north of it, but has missed the central areas.
