So for example, she blew past all the other runners to take the lead.

Right.

So just to move quickly past someone will say you blow past them.

It doesn't have to be physical in any way.

Like if you move past someone quickly in some way, we can say you blew past them.

We also use it to mean ignoring someone and continuing.

So for example, the teacher blew past the interruptions and continued the lesson.

And teachers often have to do this.

If someone's interrupting in the class, they just have to blow past it and keep teaching, right?

Don't let it disrupt.

Absolutely.

Yeah, so it can just mean brought in by the wind, right?

Leaves blew in through the open window, or this is where blizzards are going to come up.

We would say a blizzard blew in last night.

And so that means like maybe there was not even snow on the ground.

And then you wake up in the morning and see that a blizzard had blown in.

At this point, the wind is still moving it in, but it's not blowing it inside somewhere, right?

Right.

Unannounced when maybe they should be.

I feel like you could say they blew in.
