May in Seattle is normally not at all miserable. Last year was, but most Mays are the start of BBQ season and lunch outdoors for Paul's family. And as Texans, it's not like they're entirely used to this whole frozen north thing still.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

When I visited Seattle in April a couple of years ago, it was freakishly hot.

Tom, yeah we get occasional bouts of odd weather that last 2 days to a week and then vanish. Last year it was a few days in the mid 70's in February and then it went straight back to the usual chilly & damp nonsense.
Plei, I've noted over the years that you can't rely on the weather remaining clement until about July 4th.

Oh, you can never *rely* on it, period. I've spent nearly 35 years here, and I've seen just about any sort of weather in any month.
But you can be reasonably assured that it will not entirely suck right about Mother's Day.

Is that mid-May? It's totally off my radar.

Mother's Day appears to happen in early-to-mid May. I think it's usually the weekend after the Derby and before the Preakness? I dunno. I just go to the events I'm told to attend, y'know?

Okay: this year Mother's Day should be May 10th.
The Derby is on May 2nd and the Preakness on May 16th.

HA! I was correct! (The Derby being on the first Saturday in May and all that.)
It scares me that I still tell spring dates by horse races.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Seattle is a long way north and chances are you will be chilly & damp up to mid-June, possibly later.
I don't mind chilly and damp and it's hard for me to get time off in mid-summer.
