(Cleveland)- It will come as no surprise, but 2018 was a record year for rainfall in White County. WRWH Weather reporter Bill Kinsland advises that all three weather stations in the county, Cleveland, Helen, and Sautee beat the old rainfall records set in 2013.  Here are the totals:

CLEVELAND:     90.79” (28.69”/ surplus)  (2013 TOT:  90.43”)
