VA YOY a hair better, in that they're making the claim that it's good news, being a "normal year". Got to love how people look at statistics, NOT. True, the margin of error of this year's data's just ticks into the 95% confidence level of the 1967-2025 Mean, but I wouldn't be bragging about that.

If one of my colleagues at work would present and boast with results like this, he be introduced to a new series of holes so he had to pick the corresponding one to take his morning dump!!
