Upper right side click on the icon to the right of the magnifying glass. Click on "Account" and under that is the "Ignore Users" option.  You can add them their.

Psssst, you don't ask the person you want to block how to block someone!  It's a major faux pas!  Just kidding! I can't figure out how to do it from the phone either. 

Lol! Well now you know how to ignore users

And if you were, it busted. You'd wake up when it was supposed to already be 2-4" on the ground and it would be overcast and bare ground with the disc of the sun showing through the clouds. You would get that sinking feeling immediately. It would eventually snow but taper off after 4". Then a 1980s cutter would wash it away 3 days later with 0F temps and bare ground the morning after. 

Rinse and repeat...those were the 80s and early 90s for those who didn't experience them and were wondering where all this talk of fear comes from when discussing them. They leave deep scars in snow weenie children for life. 

That's a fact! LOL. I spent those years in SECT, which is usually a snowhole in the best of winters, and what you describe fits so perfectly for most 80s & 90s winters thre and a hell of a lot of bogus storms.  The scars are real, although my current location has healed a lot of them.  But not all. ;)

That is so cool Hoth..thanks a lot!!

 

My sister(on her way to college/night classes)got caught in that on the highway in Waterbury, as that storm made it's way south..she pulled over cuz of the intensity of the rain and wind,and laid down on the front seat to take cover.  She said it was black and so scary..the wind was screaming she said with debris flying everywhere.  She was fortunate she came through that unhurt.  That was the real deal.

2 yrs ago, awesome SWFE. Many areas 12 to nearly 18". The S coast of MA got a lot of mixed precip which held down amounts.

It is also the last day BTV recorded 6" of snowfall.

6.4"...with a high temperature of 0F.  Which is interesting as getting over 6" with sub-zero temps is tough to do. 

The last time winter visited the Champlain Valley.

It's an unprecedented streak there...although BTV isn't a mecca for large events. Still...that is really sad.

Somewhere, Eyewall is raging at the injustice.

7.5" with a high of -1 here.  (After which the month turned into a whole bunch of missed opportunities.)
