Thanks to Frank Reed for explaining further that when he wrote- "By the way, since you're inland, be advised that you should use "sea level" barometric pressure. This differs a little from the pressure usually reported in weather reports (but not very much unless you're at Denver-like altitudes)." he intended that local true barometric pressure at the observer's altitude should be used, not the pressure at sea-level. He could have fooled me (and did). I had quite misunderstood his meaning. After the clarification, we now seem to agree on that point.
