...RECORD RAINFALL FOR FEB 29...

SEVERAL SITES AROUND NW OREGON SET NEW DAILY RAINFALL RECORDS
YESTERDAY, FEB 29.

================================================
Portland Airport    1.10"          0.32" (2016)
Hillsboro           0.74"          0.45" (2016)

KEEP IN MIND THAT FEBRUARY 29 IS LEAP DAY WHICH TYPICALLY OCCURS
ONLY ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS. THEREFORE THE SAMPLE SIZE IS
CONSIDERABLY SMALLER THAN FOR OTHER DAYS OF THE YEAR. FOR EXAMPLE...
RECORDS AT PORTLAND AIRPORT GO BACK TO OCT 1940 BUT FEBRUARY 29 HAD
ONLY OCCURRED 19 TIMES IN THE PERIOD OF RECORD PRIOR TO YESTERDAY.
