I have never ever seen it...

...this low. And it's still falling. Anybody know what happens when it reaches the end of the scale?

 

[Sgeir]

And, of course,

it will be calibrated correctly I suppose?

;-)

Re: And, of course,

Yes, as I was expecting your humble scepticism here is the confirmation.

'Anybody know what happens when it reaches the bottom of the scale'
I believe something private and personal (and sausage-shaped) drops off. IMHO only, of course /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: And, of course,

An here is the some more data.

Oh, and I always thought it was the blood pressure that kept that one up....

RE: http://www.soa.edu.stockholm.se/FTP/Wvgraph2.gif

Now that is a very clever site. But has it been calibrated?

Didn't like the other graph much - looks like it won't bottom out. Reminds me of our late summer.

 

[Becky]

Just try a REALLY low pressure situation, and see if blood pressure can do the business. With imiminent gales and rough seas, could you really concentrate on the 'other'?

 

[DrBob]

Mine's going up now!

Really .. last thing I thought I'd see on this site is a blow by blow account of a sexual encounter .. is she nice?

Re: And, of course,

There is nothing wrong with the calibration. This is from the National Swedish Weather service's site. Note that the data is more than two hours old and the glass is still falling here...

Just checked the QNH value (adjusted to sea level pressure) at Stockholm airport. At the moment it is 963 millibars guess you will have to change to inches to check your barometer or maybe it is shown in millibars, cant quite see the picky very well.

[DrBob]

no, you mis-understand.

When I say mine is going up, I meant my number of posts is going up.

Had to do something to get it over 10.

....and in the last 10 minutes I have become 'regular'

Dr Bob

 

[jenku]

Mine is showing 958 milibars now and I am about 20 miles from the airport.

 

[Sgeir]

Oops

Apologies Jens. This is the really impressive site:

Thanks.

And back to your original question; we either fall off the edge of the world, or else we develop webbed feet and develop new ways of breathing.

Re: Oops

Yes, but the image link gets wrong, it's stops at 2 pm. You have to go to
http://www.soa.edu.stockholm.se/PROJEKT/vader/vaderdata.html to see the current state. Don't know why.

And anyway the glass has stopped falling now at 957, only three points from the end of the scale.

When it gets that low you won't have enough steam to drive the pistons. Suggest you break up the chart table and throw it on the fire, that should make the little pointy thing go up a bit /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
