We were getting flurries in Stamford before. Nothing too exciting, but nice nonetheless. If you think the coast is ice though, just ten miles inland everything looks like glass.
It's also worth remembering what the average high temperature is in December. Those terrifying +10 departures on some models are still in the mid-40s. That's relatively a torch, but it certainly doesn't feel unseasonably warm.
I've got just about 7" and ice here. It's been a pain though, because of the differences between home and Stamford where I work. Different climate south of the Merritt.
The only problem with simply ignoring posts or using the ignore feature is that you cannot ignore the multi-post/multi-page derails caused by people responding that have not started using the aforementioned features. You basically need an ignore user + ignore posts quoting an ignored user feature.
