Weather Wimps

Okay, I admit it. People in the Northwest (and most specifically the greater Seattle/Puget Sound area) are weather wimps. Until yesterday (July 29, 2009), the official high for Seattle (as recorded at SeaTac Airport) had never gone above 100F (it has never gone below 0F, either, but that's comments for another blog). That is, until yesterday when the official high temperature for Seattle was 103F (with outlying areas going even higher). And, our low for yesterday (71F) was also a record for being the warmest low we had ever had.

Today is supposed to be a bit cooler -- only 99F for a high.
