it hasn't rained for only 44 of the 211 days. only 10 times has it not rained for two days in a row or more with the maximum dry stretch being 3 days (twice). there was that one time in january where it didn't rain for 6 straight days, but we had 12" of snow on the ground so that doesn't really count. we've had stretches of 11, 12, 18 (twice), and 22 consecutive days with rain, and we've also had 25 days with over 1/2" of rain and 13 more with over 1". we were the recipient of 2.79" on Feb 5th, which was part of 4 1/2" in three days
let's just say the past 7 months have redefined the term 'playable' when it comes to portland golf courses. there are actually three in the area that are reasonably walkable, but several (including some of the best) have just been mud bogs with almost every drive plugging in the fairway.
