Yeah I got a little excited for about 75 seconds when I saw that BLIZZARD warning. I thought, WOW!? MY REGION?! Then I recalled, no major storms anywhere near me except in the Pac Northwest and the 3 foot LES event.



ARCTIC BLAST JEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring It!!!!!!! :)

The National Weather Service in Melbourne, Florida tests their Weather Alert System (over NOAA Weather Radio) between 11:00 am and Noon and between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm Eastern; unless there is a chance of severe weather during that particular Wednesday.
