I appreciate the feedback. I want to say when I researched before, we received on average about 30" of rain per year as well.

As I typed that sentence I decided to look on the net and see if I could find something. Whala.

This breaks down the rainfall totals for decades and it does look like 2022 and 2023 were about 10" below normal and for 2024 we're only sitting at roughly 21" so far.

I'm wondering if something could have impacted the watershed as well, because the neighbors ponds are all full or just about there. Although my property is 60 acres and the pond sits in the middle and I feel like the work I've done around the pond (clearing trees and brush) should have only helped the watershed.

Figured I'd also add pics of the pond full (not sure when this was) and how it looks now on google maps.
