why high to low, look out below?

[...] Good GOD man, when you see the phrase "high to low, look out below"
in an aviation book they mean high to low PRESSURE.

Funny how those who are most strident and insulting also tend to be the most
ignorant as well. I wonder why that is...

Regardless of what you may think, the phrase is applied to both the pressure
situation as well as the temperature situation.

[...]
BTW, the moral of the whole "high to low (pressure), look out below" thing
is to make sure on a cross-country or IFR flight to get altimeter setting
updates regularly.

That's certainly one moral. However, getting a fresh altimeter setting
isn't going to help you correct for temperature errors. Best you know about
those as well.
