Can someone help with days of rain in STL?

Extra credit in math (which I REALLY need) if we can find out how many days its rained in St.Louis, MO from January 1, 2008 to May 13, 2008. I already checked countless climate reports and even e-mailed the local meteorologist. Could someone please help!? Include your source if possible, it's needed to receive extra credit.

It depends on whether you mean days that precipitation was measured, or also inclusive of days where trace amounts were recorded. For measurable precipitation (0.01 inch or greater), I come up with 48 days, while at least a trace of precipitation has been officially measured there 79 days as of May 13, 2008.

Oh, and do you mean strictly rain, or rain and/or snow?
