Doesn't the Olympic Rainforest get something like 240 inches annually?
Amazing!

Don't know the precisely although the Time/Life series of US
geographical areas says about 150" (the bookshelf happens to be right
over there... ). Let's see if the Smoky Mountains is given...I'm
thinking it's in the 85-inch neighborhood if I recall correctly...no,
that's not given there although some of the top elevations also qualify
as temperate rain forest (although not in spades like Olympic).
