...Residents of Manchester and Concord -- in the southern part of the state -- may wake up Tuesday morning to as much as a foot of snow, according to National Weather Service forecaster Steve Flood. Heaviest snowfall, Flood said, likely would be in the hills west of there.

..."I've covered seven primaries," Landrigan said. "People go to great lengths to go. If it's a foot of snow, people work to get there."

...Campaigns with strong get-out-the-vote efforts like Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts won't suffer, Landrigan said, but other campaigns such as those of retired Gen. Wesley Clark, Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut and Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, who rely on people to get themselves to the polls, may see a small decline in support.

...Weather appeared to have little effect on last Monday's Iowa caucuses. As the race for president heated up, temperatures were down in the single digits. Hearty Iowans came out anyway to chose their candidates, in near record-setting numbers.
