I'm only talking about the total rainfall. I don't give a damn if it's cloudy or not. But in October we had that huge rainstorm followed by another substantial rainstorm maybe a week later. So I'd be more interested to see then total rainfall for October and November combined compared with an average year.

Did I say anything about clouds? Or did I give you numbers about total rainfall? Assuming we get a little under an inch today, factoring in October, we will have gotten ~3.5“ more rain over the two month period than the average. So an extra ~1.75” a month.

1.75" more than average per month seems like a lot to me considering average annual rainfall in southern Maine is apparently 42". We also have another inch of rain forecast for the next week.

Yes, we had a drought over the summer. And we've more than made up for it already if this 39" (before today) figure is accurate.
