1. NH is use to the snow and cold

The voters will be out in force, imo

4. SAme thing happened in Iowa

Nasty, coldest weather of the winter so far, everyone was sayng that the oldsters would stay home, but they were out in force, and while there were a lot of young voters, many of the yougest were the ones who didnt turn up due to the cold.

Same thing with the older New Hampshire voters. They tend to be far more committed and dont let snow deter them. (rain or sleet either...I wonder if New Hampshire is filled with retired postmen)

2. If conditions are in climate,

some may not vote. But you knew that.

5. hmm

not sure but i would say the older people are going to be less likely the younger are more likely to go out and vote so it could definetly help howard dean

[Foswia]

6. Iowa?

It doesn't appear helped Dean that much.

7. There is SNOW coming in this Tuesday.

That was not the case in Iowa, I think...

9. NH is NOT Iowa

NH isn't a farming state, it's a retail and manufacturing state. Totally different kind of population. Oh, and NH loves to undo whatever Iowa does in primaries. NH elections are decided by the Independents, not the Democrats or Republicans...that's why it's tough for pundits to predict what's going to happen there.

17. It was cold in Iowa

But there had been no recent snows and the skies were clear.

8. The roads are clear right now up here, but it's freezing cold

I mean frostbite and risk of exposure cold. It's too cold to snow right now. Not sure how it will be over the next two days, though.

10. we had that cold yesterday....-4 last nite...warmer now and

the snow is coming

[NewHampster]

11. I'm all for a good old Northeaster

the candidate with the most committed supporters will win.

[NewHampster]

12. But shoot, I forgot

The Kerry camp has all the Range Rovers

[NewHampster]

13. Please oh Please let it Snow

High:
21°F

Snow

Wind:
From the East Northeast at 10 mph

Precip: 70 %

Max. Humidity: 77 %

UV Index: 1 Minim


Let her rip.

[RageAgainstTheirMachine]

14. Dean and Clark do better

if the weather sucks. Dean and Clark supporters are the most dedicated. They are more likely to show up than supporters of any other candidate.

[NewHampster]

15. ...shhhhh

:9

[HFishbine]

16. Very bad whether (like hard to drive in snow)

Would help Dean. 67% of those who say they'll vote for him describe themsleves as committed -- the highest percentage of any candidate. I suspect it will be the less committed, less certain voters who would be first to stay home.

"Two-thirds (66%) of Dean's supporters say their support is 'very strong,' as do 56% of Kerry's. "
