Precipitous Extremes: Tucson and New York

As a photographer from the infamous (made so by Simon & Garfunkel)  New York Daily News aptly demonstrated, March 2010 was a very wet one in the NYC metro area: 8-10 inches, depending on where it was measured.

By contrast, annual rainfall in my native Tucson is around 12 inches. (Photo by Maisel/News).
