That's ageist!

Yeah, and with the "deep" level of support Mitt Gingrich has, the bigger the storm the smaller their turnout.

Maybe Bachman saw the ten day forecast and that's why she think's she is surging. With a snow storm she could change her 5% to 6%:)

I'm not sure if snow helps or hurts us. Sure, snow brings out the dedicated voters, but no-snow means more undecided people to convert at the caucus with an amazing 2-minute speech. Reports from last time have more than half of the undecided voters picking Paul after a great speech.

Accuweather says "abundant sunshine" and a high of 43° on Jan. 3, up from a high of 31° on the 1st.

I kinda don't want a snow storm, I want it clear weather so the media doesn't have an excuse to how we won.

[No Free Beer]

you all sound like politicians now. All the media will say is that "Paul won because of storm."

Now, I know all of you are going to say, "they're going to say that no matter what."

Maybe that is the case, but I am not rooting for anything, one way or another.

All I know is Ron Paul is going to win...

I was looking for more than a ten day forecast. I should have checked Accuweather. @harikaried has a good point about the undecideds. Oh well, I think we'll win either way. I would just like to see a freaking landslide.

Bigger victory for Paul = more delegates = win

I second this thought. A CLEAR WIN. Period.

Otherwise the media will be like "well you know it was snowing and Ron Paul supporters are enthusiastic so this wasn't really a win".


I think we can seriously and honestly CLEARLY win Iowa.

[satchelmcqueen]

no snow. we must win this with no excuse for the media.

I had a snow analysis posted here yesterday:

[The_Ruffneck]

whether it's snowing or not they'll still use some dumb excuse
whatever it legally takes to bring home the biggest winning margin is fine by me

Me too

This is the latest GFS model run, take it with a grain of salt b/c it is so far out. This is AM http://tinyurl.com/7g6x78s This is PM http://tinyurl.com/8y3wx7l Ill give you a run down, too warm, not enough precip. This is always subject to change since it is so far out though.

[amonasro]

It says snow showers, which will hardly keep people away. We've had a very mild winter so far in the midwest so I'm not banking on any type of storm.

[vechorik]

The old voters need to get there too -- stop wishing for so much snow!

Dito. Remove as many excuses as possible.

I'm hoping for a landslide win on a bright sunny day. If we win by a lot more than predicted and it's bad weather, they'll say it was because of the weather. If it's a close win and bad weather, they'll say we actually lost.

[sailingaway]

I don't know if the late deciders who came to Ron are as committed as his core base. We'll see.

[PaperPhantom]

The media is already making excuses. It's unavoidable, no matter what happens. Unless there's a landslide, but we already have people talking about only paying attention to who comes in second.

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

I'm seeing "partly cloudy". :confused:

Well, then let's give him a win by a landslide!

Has Anyone done stat on Iowa/NH attedance % vs weather last few elections? Is this REALLY a factor?

[TheTexan]

If it's a clear day in Iowa, they'll just report it from NYC where its a blizzard... just so they can make a snarky comment about turn-out on snowy days without ACTUALLY saying that's what happened in Iowa.

[Blue]

I hope we win on a nice, clear, sunny day. If we win in a blizzard, the media will completely dismiss the victory and claim that Ron only won because his supporters are so loyal.
