The kind of storm that will inspire a kid to become a Meteorologist like the Blizzard of '93 inspired me. #Jonas teapaw.org/KeithCarson/status/689…

@KingPeterKane @ryanweather Actually the models are forecasts, they're just made by computerized calculation (hence "numerical wx prediction")
Unlikely, but would be eerie coincidence – 12Z GFS model shows Florida flurries on 30th anniv of Challenger disaster
00Z GFS and European models both essentially call for a #blizzard somewhere in the Mid-Atlantic states Saturday. Interesting week ahead.
