...SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM TO IMPACT IOWA LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...
.SNOW IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD NORTH INTO IOWA MONDAY NIGHT AND BECOME WIDESPREAD TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. A BROAD AREA OF 6 INCHES OR MORE OF SNOW IS LIKELY WITH THIS STORM. IN ADDITION...STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS WITH GUSTS OVER 40 MPH WILL CREATE CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND POSSIBLE LEAD TO A PROLONGED PERIOD OF NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY IN RURAL AREAS. SOME UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ALONG THE SOUTHEAST EDGE OF THE WATCH INTO SOUTHEAST IOWA PENDING ANY POTENTIAL SHIFTS IN THE TRACK OF THE STORM AS THE HEAVY SNOW BAND WILL DEVELOP JUST WEST OF THE RAIN AND SNOW LINE.
Monday is mostly cloudy with high of 35 in Iowa according to the National Weather Service
Snow late Monday after midnight
Maybe there’s good news in this that it will show what a disaster this whole caucus system is. I can vote before I go to work and be sure my vote counts.
The advantage of the caucus is that it identifies the truly interested. You point out a big disadvantage of it.
Hey Iowa
Vote early
Vote often
No no - Tuesday is the day the TRUMP people are supposed to caucus. Didn’t you get the memo?
Does anyone know this answer because it could predict outcome if there is truly a blizzard coming to Iowa.
When you arrive at the caucus location, can you simply walk in and vote for your candidate, then go home OR is this a long drawn-out event where you have to stay for hours?
Being a person who has experienced many severe snow storms AND a couple blizzards in Ohio, I would simply go vote and then go home and wait for the blizzard to be over. But if it is a long drawn-out event, I’d stay home.
Good. Sounds like it will wait for the cock eye to be finished but even so, it is Iowa in the Midwest, and this is what we practice for all year. A little snow isnt going to keep Trump voters home!
This is Iowa, not NY city. No problem for voters.
Much truth to what you said.
Breaking news: Trump hires fleet of 10,000 Jeeps and drivers, launches phone app to summon rides to caucus.
what do the colors represent?
Snow late Monday after midnight

Timing can change some in the next 40 hours or so. And depending upon the
part of the state you’re in can impact your decision to attend a caucus.
Legend is here.

seriously?
“Breaking news: Trump hires fleet of 10,000 Jeeps and drivers, launches phone app to summon rides to caucus.”
That would be brilliant. I haven’t seen a story here yet.

The meeting is called to order at 7:00pm sharp. A permanent chair is elected. Most places this will take only a few minutes. A few speakers will then speak in behalf of their candidate. Then there is a secret printed ballot. First results might come as early as 7:30pm.
Newbies and some others will generally leave after the presidential preference vote, not even waiting for the result. Then the normal caucus business will proceed as it does in every other state.
