    A street sign is topped with several inches of snow in Madison, Wis., Dec. 20.

    WTMJ-TV reports — The governor of Wisconsin has issued a state of emergency as a winter storm approaches the state. Snow totals of 15 inches or more are possible. “I issued this executive order to make sure Wisconsin is prepared for whatever this winter storm may bring,” Gov. Scott Walker said in a statement. “Mobilizing our state agency resources during this storm will ensure we leave nothing to chance when it comes to protecting the citizens of Wisconsin.” The declaration puts Wisconsin Emergency Management, the Wisconsin National Guard and the State Patrol at the ready for various emergencies.

    Raucous crowds: Police remove protesters from Wis. Capitol

    John Hart / Wisconsin State Journal via AP

    Elizabeth Wrigley-Field of Madison, Wis. is escorted out of the Wisconsin State Capitol Assembly Room lobby by law enforcement personnel on Thursday, March 10, after spending the night in the room with demonstrators opposed to Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair bill. Tensions have flared after Republican senators passed an amended version of the controversial bill which largely strips collective bargaining for public employees.

    Police try to secure a door during a protest at the Wisconsin Capitol on Thursday. The standoff over union rights that rocked Wisconsin and the nation for weeks headed for a swift end Thursday, as Republican lawmakers were set to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from the state's public workers and deliver one of the strongest blows to the power of unions in years.

    Police remove a protester from the vestibule in front of the Wisconsin state assembly chamber in the Capitol on March 10 in Madison. The protesters were blocking the entrances to the chamber hoping to prevent the Assembly from meeting. Thousands of demonstrators took over the Capitol last night after the Wisconsin Republican senators voted to curb collective bargaining rights for public union workers in a surprise vote with no Democrats present.

    There's a little bit of Wisconsin Democrat in all of us. It's trying to get out. Maybe another glass of metamucil would help.
