A barometer reading of 30.71 (1040 millibars) is a typical winter reading for a high-pressure, cold-air cell moving out of northern Canada. Generally, in Ohio, a cold front doesn't force the barometer below about 29.8. Sandy is predicted to create a very low millibars (barometric) reading, lower than 960 millibars. Currently approximately 300 miles offshore at 8am Monday Oct 29th 2012, Hurricane Sandy is at 946 millibars.
The two massive storms will likely drop the barometric pressure into the 29-plus range, but how far it will drop is not yet known. However, a 29-plus barometer reading along with the cold, wet weather is certainly apt to increase the pain of chronic pain sufferers, along with devastating damage for people along the coast with power outages, trees toppled, etc.
