Seattle vs Miami - May Weather

Let's talk about weather... I've got an upcoming work related trip to Seattle, Washington.

The trip is May 26th - May 31st.. here are the typical stats for those days. I've got this great graph, but after just spending the last 20 minutes trying to get it to upload & be viewable.... I give up & ya'll will just have to be stuck with text.
And after spending another 30 min trying to make a table,that refuses to import, you just don't get any numbers. at all. period. I am a retard.

The WHOLE point is that not only is Seattle colder than Miami for these days, but the HIGH temps are colder than Miami's LOWs. As a matter of fact those temps are COLDER than Miami's average high/low during Dec 08, Jan 09, Feb 09, and Mar 09. How about that? After reviewing the weather, I've decided Seattle in May is colder than every winter month in Miami.

Suffice to say I might be a bit chilly. I'm bringing my winter gear (I still own scarves, hats, and jackets). And hoping for record highs.... Record highs for this period are a weee bit warmer than Miami's typical average.. Yup, I'm hoping for a heat wave during my visit.
Oh and for da burgh readers..... even yinz will be warmer than Seattle.
Seattle is definitely not on my preferred places to live. To visit yes, to live, no.
In regards to the Bike, my new tires & tubes arrived today. I've got plans to get them on tomorrow & riding on sat/sun. I've taken the week off from exercise, so we'll see how sat turns out...
Seriously, blogger hates me today.

Seattle is a lovely city. You must go to Pike Street Market. The food in the city is awesome. Be forewarned the city has hills like San Francisco.
