From the Summit County Citizens Voice (Bob Berwyn):
August brought a precipitation surplus to Breckenridge, with 3.07 inches of rain, about 35 percent above the average. The monthly rainfall also brought the seasonal total to within .01 inches of average for the year to date, with just one month left in the hydrological year…
The 2010 year-to-date total is 18.86 inches, the historic average, based on records going back more than 100 years, is 18.87 inches.
At Dillon, the rain gauge at the Denver Water office told a different story, with the monthly rainfall total of 1.63 inches just a shade below the historic average for the month, 1.77 inches.
