As we crossed the Mississippi River into the Hawkeye State this afternoon, we witnessed the effects of the record ice and snow storms that have wreaked havoc on Iowa this winter. High winds, drifting snow and occasional whiteouts greeted us on our path to Cedar Rapids and we counted more than 40 cars and a few tractor-trailers abandoned on the shoulder of Interstates 80 and 380.
Campaign workers for both parties are understandably concerned about the effect of cold weather on the turnout for Thursday's caucuses. Temperatures are expect to, ahem, climb to 20 degrees by Thursday, so if you're an Iowan heading to caucus, use caution and arrive safely.
