http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/election-2016-iowa-caucus-snow-central-northern-plains-monday-night/55036213After months of campaigning and jockeying for position, the 2016 Presidential Election season officially gets underway Monday, Feb. 1, with the Iowa Caucuses.
Voters from Iowa's 99 counties will meet in caucus as the first step to determine who will represent the state at the Republican and Democratic national conventions.
However, a winter storm moving from the Intermountain West is likely to cause snow to spread over a large part of the central and northern Plains during Monday night and Tuesday.
The voting prospects weather-wise could become precarious before the close of the caucuses because of the incoming storm system, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Matt Rinde stated. The heaviest precipitation will arrive in part of the state during Monday night.

So Hillary controls the weather now?

(5,420 posts)1. This will hurt Hillary more than Bernie
Imo . people who are enraged and excited for change are more likely to show in bvad weather.

the kind who sit out midterms, etc., and presumably snowstorms.

(5,420 posts)5. Then you were thinking wrong.
You were probably one of those laughing and saying Bernie didn't have a chance and are now worried as hell that Hillary is going to be humiliated and become the deja vu queen. That is why Hillary supporters and media are trying to pile on with anti Bernie crap now.

"Lesser of two evils" doesn't inspire action. This is the first time a lot of people have felt so positive about a candidate. I don't think the snow hurts Bernie's chances at all!
