General discussion for aviators

METAR-induced gaffe

I heard an amusing (?) METAR-induced gaffe this evening on the LGA
ATIS.  The altimeter setting of A2972, appearing where it does now
right after the dewpoint, was read into the ATIS tape as "winds,
two-niner-zero at seven-two."

Hang on to your hats!
