Hello Hilmar, We have published several datasets on individual precipitation events from which you can calculate a mean value. These data are from about 25 miles east of Syracuse NY, but may be of use nonetheless. Groundwater values are much closer to winter precipitaion values than the mean value (due to transpiration of summer precip.).The references are listed below, or you can go to the website at the bottom of this message and click on publications to download the PDFs.
