This area of Alaska/Canada is a rainforest. Ketchikan averages 12 feet (144 inches) of rain per year. Makes Phoenix's 6 inches of rain (or something like that) seem rather feeble. But we are a desert, after all.
Ketchikan's record for yearly rainfall, comemmorated by this sign, is 202 inches. That averages out to more than a half-inch of rain every freaking day. Wow.
