So is everyone grounded or is there some exception made? How about for your departure Bruce?Temporary restriction on flight operations during abnormally high barometric pressure conditions.
(a) Special flight restrictions. When any information indicates that barometric pressure on the route of flight currently exceeds or will exceed 31 inches of mercury, no person may operate an aircraft or initiate a flight contrary to the requirements established by the Administrator and published in a Notice to Airmen issued under this section.
(b) Waivers. The Administrator is authorized to waive any restriction issued under paragraph (a) of this section to permit emergency supply, transport, or medical services to be delivered to isolated communities, where the operation can be conducted with an acceptable level of safety.
that's still high! Highest I had experienced was around 3010. Then I flew all the way to california and back. 3076 was the highest we had. pretty ridiculous to me!Bruce,
Are you sure you mean 31.50" and not 30.50? Assuming you are talking about Thursday, January 27th. The highest altimeter I could find was at 15Z and that was 30.42".

Definitely not. Take a look at my two minute video tip that I posted. The altimeter setting is NOT the same as a reduction to sea level pressure.
