And it was a double ! Lucky you. Even tho second ones are usually not as bright. Sure happy the weather guys have now taken the snow out of upcoming forecast for us who live a few miles south of you. Much to early for that.

I found that if you mark the post (those dots in lower right) as to block this account, has worked for now, gotta do it on each of those acct names. A few have tried to sneak back with different accts. but I just "block" them again......Takes a little while for that to work
