How cold is Seattle in August?
I know here in Florida last week it was still getting into the 80's, but what sort of system shock should I be expecting there when I go? And will a paper thin Old Navy jacket provide me any joy?

That's why here is cool. It's not as harsh as there.
In other words, you should come down and visit me. :P I'm gonna be all alone for the holidays.

Winter is rainy most of the time and chilly, but not cold.
Survey for MMORPG players, takes very little time. I'd appreciate it if anyone would take it so I can get an M.A. degree and eat someday.
Or I'll start clubbing baby seals. Really.
Summer (running from late June until early September) can get disgustingly hot (80-90) at times. It usually runs in the mid 70s which is still nasty but more bearable. We often can go nearly a month without signifigant rain in late July and Augest.
Fall (early September to the very end of November or sometimes December) tends to be very pleasant. Overcast, drizzling with occasional heavy rain and 40-55 degrees or so. It can get very windy down near the water or Lake Washington. It is not uncommon to go a month or more without seeing the sun (when I was in 4th grade we had 92 heavily overcast days in a row, but that was in the Spring).
Winter (from the end of Fall to late January or early Feb) is generally no different from Fall except all the leaves are gone. Once every couple years it will snow for a day or two. Temperatures run a brisk but pleasant 30-45 most days. Most mornings there is very heavy dank fog near any body of water (eg: nearly everywhere).
Spring (mid Feb to early June) is much like fall but with less wind. Expect long periods of overcast and drizzel.
Important note: If you intend to drive in Seattle, any change in the weather (however slight!) results in mass hysteria and suicidal impulses in the majority of Seattle drivers. A single nowflake impacting the windshield of an SUV is likely to cause a multi-vehicle pileup.
Ugh, so true. I remember about 3-4 years back when it really snowed and I was one of three people to come into work. Glad I'm out of there.

Especially if you wear a cape.

Christ, it's like that here in Vancouver too. The other day we got, like, an inch of snow, and the whole fucking city turned into a goddamn slow-motion anarchistic nightmare. I went to Richmond to get my WoW game card and watched as hapless drivers s-l-o-w-l-y slid into the middle of intersections, into parked cars, and over small children making snow angels, their brakes completely useless. It was absolutely fucking hilarious. Seriously, people, you live in fucking Canada. Get fucking all-season tires.
Best part is, it's been snowing on and off ever since. So much fresh, uninterrupted snow. Usually we get like a foot or two total per year, but it's always like one day it snows and then it all melts and then it snows again later. I love snow.
Yeah, people are crazy. They can't be bothered to watch all obstructions on the road, just the ones that have changed because of snow. Somebody on this street was backing out of their driveway and crashed into a car that was driving along. The driver didn't see the car coming, even though it was going slowly as you mentioned) because the backing out driver was watching out for kids in the snow.
