The record high, ever, in Seattle is 100.  We could finally break that on Wed.  If we get 5 days with 90+ temps, that would be a record as well.  This is going to be a rough week for everyone.

Oh, and the dew points are high which keeps the nighttime temps high and the humidity is running around 50% – so I’m sweating a lot.

Update: Just to be clear, I LOVE IT!  I love fun, exciting weather.  We had rain and thunder the other day, now we have record breaking heat.  I couldn’t ask for more.  Well, AC would be nice.

Ok…make that over an inch on the ground and still coming down.  Temp has dropped to 32.

Probably got around 2 inches…now for the action photos!

Steph built an awesome snowman.

Zach having fun.

Nate getting a little chilly.  Thanks to Mike and Emmy for the snow suit – it’s lasted for 2 kids!

One quick note on the boys…I picked them up at daycare yesterday.  Nate had been crying/screaming for about 20 minutes before I got there.  This did not change on the way home nor at home.  He basically cried for unknown reasons for the next 30 minutes before falling asleep in my arms at around 6pm.  Anyway, he woke up around 7:45 and had a little dinner and went back to bed around 8:30…he’s still asleep.  Zach was awesome last night…he was helping take care of Nate by putting blankets on him, he cleaned up his toys, ate all of his dinner and otherwise was just good.  He also did the ABC song multiple times for us.

We headed over to Seward Park and walked along the wooded trail along the ridge to the end – down to the water.  We took the paved path back to the parking lot.  While it was a beautiful and brisk afternoon, our boys made themselves heard loud and clear.

Playing at home this morning.

While it looks peaceful, it really wasn’t with Nate screaming.

Ferns and moss growing on trees.

To finish off the day, we came home and had a fire.  BTW, it is now snowing outside although we are not expected to have any accumulation.  We are supposed to get cold tonight and tomorrow – lows in the 20s.

We took the boys and Lou to the park.  We spent a lot of time strolling along the water and at the playground.  This trip to the park couldn’t have come soon enough – the boys are starting to go a little whacky being shut in the house.

Crystal clear view over the sound.

I also ran yesterday and today…I’ll start tracking my training on a separate page.

Here is a quick video I took.

I must admit – I really do enjoy the PNW weather scene!

Looking down our street.

Our snowy home.

Now we get rain..and from what they are saying, they expect up to 4 inches of rain in the Seattle metro area by Thursday.  That is quite a bit for us.  Then we get a dry and warm (upper 40s) weekend.

The recent cold weather has made me order a kerosene heater for those possible power outage situations (power only went out briefly last night).  Here is a link to the heater that I ordered.

i just hope our daycare will open tomorrow since Steph and I need a break from the boys.

Back to the snow, the latest is that it will change to rain between 10pm and Midnight…hopefully enough rain falls to clear the streets by morning.
