Anything I can do about this flight delay? UA4308 {2 Aug 2019}
UA4308 has been delayed three times now, and is now scheduled to leave three hours late. Is there anything I can do? Silver traveling with a Gold on separate PNRs. I don't hold out much hope, but I know Flyertalkers always have good ideas!

For others wondering: UA4308 is CLE-LGA.
OP, looks like thunderstorms in the New York area. What are you looking to try and have happen?
Move your flights to tomorrow, grab a rental car and go to cedar point or the great lakes brewing company restaurant downtown and try for tomorrow? :-D

Y'all don't happen to have any complimentary one-time lounge passes on account of a co-branded credit card, do you?
FWIW, I've always found delays to be where lounge access is particularly helpful.

LGA has a ground stop. Update time is 4:00 PM EDT. Then LGA has a ground delay program until midnight.
You can track the ground stops and delay programs at this link.

united gate agents, including supervisors, have the ability to give lounge passes.

As I type this, your wheels-up time (EDCT) is before your inbound airplane arrives. Depending on what's happening in NY airspace, you could be released as soon as they turn the airplane and push you back or ATC could assign a new EDCT time.
