When I took off this morning the Altimeter was 30.45 or there abouts.
As the day progressed it rose and rose and rose. By this evening it had
topped 30.60

That's just 'cause you operate in that balmy DCA climate :-). I am
betting that Jay's neck of the woods has seen greater that 30.90 in the
winter time.

Its hard to pin down what the all time record is, but somewhere in
Siberia claims a 31.60 in 2001.

According to: [see, clearly credited, and in advance!!!]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometric_pressure

"The highest recorded atmospheric pressure, 108.6 kPa (1086 mbar
or 32.06 inches of mercury), occurred at Tosontsengel, Mongolia,
19 December 2001."
