A major winter storm is trekking across Wisconsin with the potential of dropping nearly a foot of snow in some areas. We get an update on the situation. Plus, a UW-Milwaukee professor and his team tracked behavior at 20 different intersections in the city to find out how likely drivers are to stop for pedestrians to cross. We talk to the professor about the results. We also hear from two women who are leading a campaign for breast feeding awareness, particularly for African American women.
