last year i got about 6" of rain. i'm close to lake mich, and at a spot where rain systems sorta bounce off the lake air. they take a hard right, and i am lucky to get good rain in a good year.
so far this spring it's been about 2".

luckily i have lake mich water. but it's hard to make up that kind of deficit w sprinklers.
