        Yes, as it turns out, the day after the FCC said "not yet"
        I got a note from the FEMA:

"We successfully turned up IPAWS support for WEA 2.0 at 3:28 this morning.
 
The first WEA 2.0 message processed through IPAWS was a Snow Squall Warnings in central NY issued at 15:19 UTC:"

        This is good news for everyone!
