Talk about high barometric pressure, my barometer is reading 30.65 and still going up. I think that is about the highest I have seen it around here. This coupled with a northeast wind should mean a few dry days but cold nights.

The temperature outside is slowly going up and the barometer keeps going down. It is reading 29.20 and still falling and dead calm outside here anyway. That is the lowest reading I have seen this year.

My house is at 800'. Usually it's 400'.

Some people have better things to do with their lives than walking the dog. Some don't.

28.17 here in the S.W.

What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

11/15/2013 3:45 PM The barometer is down to 29.50 and still falling. I wonder how low it will go. That is a pretty good drop as it was reading 30.30 earlier this week.

25 October 2014 The barometer is down to 29.25 and still falling. This is the lowest I have seen it for awhile. It is kind of dark outside but no wind so far. Edit: Doh, I see I forgot to put the time. I think it was around 1:30 pm.

At 800 ft, the kitchen altimeter is reading 1600 feet. Looks like it's still falling. The biggest drop I ever saw was sometime in the 90s - 1500 feet of pressure altitude. They sent us home from work early that day on account of the dire forecast.

I would accept the free altitude gain without complaint. hmmm.gif

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.
