Six to twelve inches of snow and high winds predicted for Primary Tuesday.

The weather conditions will definitely affect voter turnout...it looks like almost all of Pennsylvania will be affected by the nor'easter.

The campaigns must be thinking about it, too. There have been lots of live and robo-calls today.

I don't care if we have to drive snowmobiles...this family will be voting!

The motivation for Democrats in PA should be very high!

Holy crap.

What will happen about the voting machines if there are power outages?

It's actually a lot of fun. We don't have a community center, so this is a good place to see everyone and catch up on gossip. Unfortunately, it is a very red area, but if we stay clear of talking politics, it's all good.

I looked at the weather report for three areas in the eastern part of the state. It is only a prediction for a "few showers" on election day, with 15 mph winds and a high in the 50s.

It's a strange day indeed in western PA. Wind, ice storms, snow.

Maybe we'll luck out, and it will all be gone by tomorrow!
