This one is going to come down to who has the dedicated supporters, damn.

I think that's good news for Desantis.

Vivek is targeting college students and first time caucus voters. They are likely flakey
Haley voters arent enthusiastic about her
Trump voter might see the polls and think F it, he doesn't need me.
DeSantis voter knows he needs Iowa.

I think this favors who has the logistics worked out. Trump is notoriously bad at details and logistics.

That's certainly colder than normal. Will be really interesting to see how it impacts the turnout. 2016 was a major snowstorm but the temps were not this cold.

Pretty sure those are temps in Celsius or basically 0 degrees F

Still cold Iowans deal with those temps a few times a year

That is in Celsius and not that cold. I fly fished today and it was 3 degrees Fahrenheit.

Nice double humble brag
You are fly fishing and you are man enough to not let cold weather get in the way of your fishing

Doesn't something funny happen to the calculations in the negative? I'm pretty sure negative Celsius that low is still in the negative for Fahrenheit

praying you are correct

it makes sense. Vivek is going to completely collapse. hopefully his small support will be the second choice for DeSantis but maybe Trump

the team with the best organization is usually able to do best in severe weather since they have planned out transportation and know where they are going and who is doing what.

that benefits Ron D

that is insane that Americans CHOOSE to live in such conditions

it was 8 degrees fahrenheit December 2022 down in Richmond Virginia when I was starting my vacation and the hotel was nearly shut down because they couldn't handle it. luckily I was heading to Hilton Head where at least it was in the 40s

this year it was in the 40s at the same time in Richmond and in the 60s in SC

When I was in the army I tried really hard to get Schofield Barracks, hawaii but got fort drum, New York.

Loved being in 10th mountain but that was a miserable place to live.

Minus 22 Celsius is about minus 8 Fahrenheit

Thanks for your service Dogface. I was Air Force but only had to deal with Knoxville, TN and Westover, MA in the winter time.

I can't believe humans choose in a free country to live in Minnesota and Michigan and North Dakota.

As I was just watching Hard Knocks Miami and planning my FIRE retirement to Florida.

A previous boss tried to sell me on going to Ft Drum. You know it's bad when the community has to be very good to make up for how ****ty the actual installation is.

It had about a six week window where the weather was phenomenal. The other 46 weeks, awful.

Went swimming there one time and one time only. About 88 degrees outside and the pool was 50. Insanity.

I've heard it was cold there. I was hoping to go to Ft Bragg after airborne school. They sent me to Ft Richardson, AK. Kinda cool there as well.

I was in Ithaca during the winter of 1993-94 when of course there were blizzards. Growing up in Austin and then having to go through that ...

Step bro is at Ft Drum. His wife and four kids literally leave in the winter and stay with my parents in Texas, because it's so cold.

Actual formula
(1.8 x temp in Celsius) + 32= temp F
Iirc -40 is the same on both scales

-5 is cold -20 is another level

degC * 9/5 + 32

-22 * 9/5 + 32 = -7.6 degF

Those forecasts are real F temps. Saturday morning in North Texas/Red River is predicted to be single digits real temps through the weekend with about an inch of snow. Polar cold front hitting hard this coming weekend and lasting for several days
