Blizzard closes Wisconsin

What? We're used to the University closing in Columbus when the high wind and snow gets blowing building a few drifts over the parking lots, but Madison? What happened to the global warming? This sure isn't climate change, because when I was a kid it always piled up in Wisconsin and then sort of slopped over into Illinois.
    "In response to the blizzard that has impacted the state, [Wisconsin] Governor Jim Doyle has ordered the closure of all state government and University of Wisconsin campuses for public business. The Governor's order directs that state employees are not to report to work, unless their job duties include the provision or support of an emergency response, public health or public safety function, and their absence would compromise delivery of essential public health, public safety or emergency response functions that are required to continue despite weather conditions."
I tried a couple of sites today and they either weren't working or closed due to the weather.
