Today at Elevation: 6,288 feet at Mount Washington Observatory the Barometric Pressure was 23.78" and falling.

Max. Temperature in 24 hour period was 22°F and the Min. Temperature was -14°F, in other words a 36 degree change in Fahrenheit temperature scale.

I truly wish that I could find that old book I had, it clearly indicated that the barometric pressure was 32 inches of mercury at sea level.
If I do find the book I promise to copy the page and display it here.


Mount Washington is on top of a.... wait for it.... MOUNTAIN. Of course the pressure will be lower at higher elevations. What is even remotely significant about the temperature range of one day at mount washington, or the barometric pressure at one instant at mount washington? If a storm is moving through or etc, the pressure will fluctuate significantly.

1 bar is definitionally the air pressure at sea level. Thats about 29.8 inches of mercury

I would suggest you do some reading, instead of just speaking and speaking and speaking:
