This is a weird question and a tough one to write out so that it makes sense... but I'll try.
If on Monday, 100 inches of percipitation falls to earth, will it also be 100 inches every other day? Is the only variable, where the rain/snow/etc. falls? It may rain 5 inches in Kansas today, but tomorrow it's dry. Does that rain still have to fall somewhere else?
If the annual rainfall for the US last year was X inches and this year it's a lot less, does that mean the rain that didn't fall here fell somewhere else, or did it stay in the oceans/lakes/etc.?
Hopefully, one of these questions made sense.
Thanks.

No way, look at the amount of rain during a hurricaine, and we don't have those everyday.

The answer really is no. But it also kinda depends on how you define 'precipitation'. If it falls over an Ocean, does it -really- count as 'precipitation'? If it does, the answer is a lot closer to yes than if it doesn't. But there really isn't any particular reason that the same total amount of precipitation should occur every day.

Nope, it matters how much moisture is in the air worldwide. It can change, and does change every day.
