"Winter weather conditions and frigid temperatures may force some GOP presidential hopefuls to cancel campaign events in the final stretch leading up to the Iowa caucuses. Plus, a looming polar vortex could cause low voter turnout.

The Hawkeye State is currently under a winter storm warning by the National Weather Service and is expecting anywhere from six to 12 inches of snow into Wednesday.

Meteorologists are also predicting a polar vortex in the days leading up to Jan. 15, bringing single-digit and below-zero temperatures, which could influence lower voter turn-out than anticipated."
