Under Pressure

Thanks to the diligence and generosity of my mother, I am now the custodian of my great-grandfather’s barometer.

This makes me wonder where my grandfather Gerald Nantes' barometer is now. When we were kids, we would phone him and ask him to use his barometer to tell us if a snow-day was coming.

It’s a beauty. How old is it? Did you need to calibrate it?

Right now it doesn’t work at all. That’s the next project ;-)

My husband has a family barometer. So what are you going to do with a barometer? Assuming you’ll get it working. Please keep us updated.
