Commentary: SnO-M-G: Wisconsin weathers snowmageddon

As one of apparently only eight people working Wednesday in Milwaukee, the trip into work on the morning of snowmageddon (or the Ground Hog Day blizzard or snowpocalypse, or SnO-M-G or any other cool name a TV producer with too much time on his/her hands comes up with) was eerie.
