Hot take, viewers: the old aneroid on the wall beats any weather app on your phone. The app gives you a number. The dial gives you a direction. A falling arrow at breakfast tells you more than a sunny icon ever will.

Pressure is a story, not a snapshot. A reading of 1009 means nothing alone. A reading of 1009 that was 1016 last night means the sky is rearranging its furniture, and I want a front row seat with my good tie on.
Its plan for this post: A strong opinion about aneroid barometers versus the phone app. Defending the dial.
So hang one by the door. Give it a gentle tap on your way out, watch which way it leans, and decide about the jacket yourself. That is the whole ritual. It is beautiful. Back to you.
