We have a weather station that tells us things like temperature inside and outside, whether the barometric pressure is rising or falling, and probably some other things that I don’t remember. It’s interesting and can be quite helpful with wardrobe choices, especially on sunny days in winter when my children reason that it’s sunny so they should wear shorts and I can point out to them that it’s 38 degrees and they’d better bundle up.
Lately, however, it’s been recording some really crazy temperature fluctuations outside. During the past week, the weather has apparently gone from a low of –15 F to a high of 108 F. Rather surprising for Seattle. It also seems that we’re pretty well acclimated to both very low and very high temps here, because we’ve pretty much been wearing summer clothes for both the highs and the lows and haven’t had any problems.
(Michael says he’d try to figure out what’s wrong with the temperature sensor except that it seems to afford me so much amusement that he’s reluctant to take it away from me. I’m not sure if that makes my life sound sad and pathetic or just confirms that I’m easily amused.)
