    1960 record for lowest high temp on that date! Not matched for 64
    years! And still not broken!

    I don't remember August 1960 as such (too much fun outside to care
    what month it was). But it /is/ a reminder that it really /can/ rain
    at any time in Seattle!

    I'm in Vancouver (about 120 miles directly north of Seattle) and by
    comparison Seattle is desert-like by comparison.

    And it looks like the first 9 days of September are going to be dry
    and sunny. And mid-70s mostly. Excellent Summer weather.

    This may be one of those years when I don't turn the furnace on until
    October!

    Yeah - my daughter took a week off work last week to catch the last
    warm days of summer. It was warm enough last week though it rained at
    least 5 days of her week.....
