Warm weather may draw record number of votersBy DAVID TIRRELL-WYSOCKI

CONCORD – A few days ago, temperatures fought to get above zero as candidates fought for votes in New Hampshire, but Old Man Winter is giving the state a break, with temperatures predicted to be into the 50s as voters prepared to turn out in potential record numbers.
"It's a traditional part of winter when you get your January thaw, then it turns cold again and breaks your heart," said National Weather Service meteorologist Art Lester.
Just last week, campaigners and candidates were bundled head to foot, walking gingerly on icy sidewalks and driving on snow-covered roads.

Yes, after a multiple of snowstorms, we had a warm spell greatly welcomed which led to a huge turnout on Primary Day, record setting. We seem to be setting many records here in New England - as far as snowfall, voting and football is concerned. As a result, from my view out back, the Contoocook River ice has broken up and the river flows freely..... and now another large storm is on it's way. Bring it on!!!!!

Thank you for your comment from you vantage point. Yes, you are doing well up there in the sports world. Remember How Snator Kerry banke on Boston's win... saying it was his year. Glad you had good weather and the turn out was very good. I say up past 12 midnight to see the first votes come in from New Hampshire.
