We got  2.32 inches of rain at Leslie Park's weather station during February. Some of the precipitation came in the form of snow, which the weather station does not record well.. The rain fell on 9 different days, with the largest amount coming on the 20th (1.08 inches.)  From the 19th to the 21st, 1.90 inches of rain fell. That, combined with melting snow led to flooding at both Huron Hills and Leslie Park. That brings the total for 2018 to 3.32 inches.
