For Brendon's suggestion, you'd have to go a lot farther north in Wisconsin than Dane Co., whereas C. novaeboracensis is found, mostly in wet wooded areas around there.
Cold climate species of this genus enter a deep dormancy in the winter, so, miserable as it looks, this one may just be "sleeping".

Camponotus miserabilis.
Just kidding! It's a particularly sad (or dead) looking carpenter ant (Camponotus). Possibly (possibly) C. herculeanus but I would want a specimen or a confirmation from other antpeople.
