Hmmm, I hadn’t thought of it before, but you could easily rack up 1,000’ of altitude change just from a low passing, or move to sea level from a high.

OK, now I am going to have to start watching that barometer next time I can, just out of curiosity. If today it is 29.92” tomorrow night as the low comes in, If it makes it down to 28.82 my effective altitude is then 1,000 feet.

Maybe I should then alter my time or pressure... The Ball Blue Book would have to grow several pages to accommodate that calculation and the related charts.

CottonBall - SEE - there I go again with the engineering calculation stuff...

I’ve never honestly considered it but now you got me going. I can just see what it’s going to be like doing up my tomato sauce.

I’ve heard that bread baking is better done on low pressure (bad weather) days.

Makes sense.
