Democratic caucus goers had to move to the parking lot to make room at perkins elementary school. Precinct coordinators say it was record turnout, with more than 600 people attending.

Bundled up in coats and hats. Well we came out for awhile and then we got too cold and i thought im going back in. I have to. Rose once everyone was registered, they squeezed back inside, packed in shoulder to shoulder. But theyre making it work. Its a tough situation but get the job done. Rose people said, having the big crowds was a good problem to have. It matters. Right now i think it matters a lot. Rose in des moines, rose heaphy, kcci 8 news, iowas news leader. Eric so many places were busy. There were some wrinkles, but we were in the focus of everything. I was alongside reporters from france and africa and throughout europe. It was incredible. Elizabeth people showed up. The weather cooperated too. Metinka it was great for the caucuses. It is a mess to the south of us. From winterset through knoxville, this is a leadingedge. It is been a freezing precip across southern iowa. It is all streaming to the north. A second band of snow there north of highway 20. Light snow accumulating in the parking lot and on the road. A check of the trees. The wind already picking up. We are expecting five or so inches. Heaviest totals to the northwest. Barely any snow across the southeastern corner of the state. It will be locally heavy at times. By 8 00 a. M. , that band shifts to the north by mid to late morning. Rain continues across the ottumwa area. By noon, some dry air will begin to punch into the system. Ottumwa, you might catch a break from the precip with light drizzle in the afternoon, followed by another round of snow moving in during the evening. Quickly pushing off to the east tomorrow. Blizzard conditions likely across ratcheted counties. Polk county, some wind and the wind is a problem across the western part of the state. The system is just getting started. Across the across the missouri, they have had showers already. Right now, we are waiting for the snow to move in and about a halfhour to 45 minutes away. Temperatures are just above freezing. It is going to be a slushy mess out there. Headed for 36. A break this afternoon. Tomorrow morning, a little bit of snow will be left over. A lot of wind. The weather evens out. Eric look for to that. Elizabeth checking in with shaina. The people in the metro can enjoy the drive for a few more minutes. Shaina if you can be leaving in little bit, you will probably have to plan a little extra time. The roads are clear at this time. Traffic is not heavy. We have a number of mobile speed elizabeth and up next we go live to washington, d. C. , to se so, let me get this straight u. S. Cellular has the phone youre looking for, a network thats built to give you coverage and 6 gigs for only 40 a month. Thats a lot less than verizon and at t. So, why on earth would you ever go with one of those other guys . Switch to u. S. Cellular now and get 6 gigs of data for 40 a month plus get 300 back. [ echoing ] just sayin. Shaina welcome back to kcci. A record turnout here in iowa and more candidates declaring victory than there were winners. So which candidates really have the momentum now and which candidates see New Hampshire as the make or break primary . For breakdown of the results we go to our political analyst in washington marc sandalow. So marc lets start with the republicans. What do last nights results mcarc the big story is the underperformance of donald trump. It means it is easier to tell he poster that europe would devote for a donald trump than it is to actually caucus for him. That he could that could have implications. The antiestablishment vote. Ted cruz the establishment in washington does not like. Six out of 10 i went told the republican establishment we dont support your candidates. That is significant. Shaina on the democratic side, was it too close for either clinton or sanders to claim victory . Marc it was too close but it did not stop both of them from doing just that. Clinton was in the front runner and ditch and she did win. Only an eye one understands how insignificant. It always amazes me how if you are sick of those political ads, they are gone for a while good suddenly your rotary your got to wait until october when iowa resumes its status. Shaina things have changed quite a bit overnight. Can donald trump survive a second place finish . Marc he came out for a speech. It was short, humble and there were no insults. It was a very unique donald trump. The big lesson here is whether or not he is up by double digits there. If this is a sign that his support was a balloon, he could shaina marc sandalow, live in much. Elizabeth the winter storm still developing out there it is affecting travel in some parts of iowa.

Clinton thanking the crowd of about 450 supporters at the olmsted center, her husband the former president and daughter even though she tried to celebrate, she didnt appear too enthusiastic.

This has been an incredible honor to Campaign Across iowa with so many of you to make the case for the kind of future we want for the Democratic Party and for the United States of america. Eric and while clinton claimed victory in iowa, Bernie Sanders had a different take. Kccis Laura Terrell reports from the holiday inn by the airport. Laura Bernie Sanders was a lot more gracious than his supporters, who booed when Hillary Clinton came up on the big screen. Instead, he thanked her for a vigorous race. Sen. Sander iowa, thank you. Laura Bernie Sanders could barely get through his 17 minute speech without constant applause from his supporters, but he was quick to give a shout out to Hillary Clinton. This opportunity to congratulate secretary clinton as somebody, yes. Laura instead of claiming victory like clinton did, sanders called the race a virtual tie. Sen. Sanders and while the results are still not complete, it looks like well have half the iowa delegates. Laura sanders supporters were loud and energetic all night, and seemed happy with the close result. Rick thomas no matter what the numbers say tonight, i view this as a win for bernie because there is just too much wrong with hillary. She has too many negatives. Laura a year ago the senator from vermont was only polling at 5 in iowa. So monday nights tie, he says, is more like a big win. Sen. Sanders nine months ago when we came to this beautiful state, we had no Political Organization. In we had no money. We had no name recognition and powerful political origanization in the United States of america. Laura in des moines, Laura Terrell, kcci 8 news, iowas news leader.

Mark iowa congressman steve king says cruz winning after governor branstad called on iowans to not vote for the texas senator, ensures iowas first in the nation caucus status for at least another cycle. Congressman king if ted had not prevailed tonight, there always would have been that threat of what about the other candidates that dont want to come to iowa, that say i dont want to be subjected to the governors criticism in 4 years or 8 years or 12 years. Mark cruz said the campaign will continue in New Hampshire the same way they succeeded in iowa face to face with conservatives who believe. Sen. Cruz 800,000 contributions at tedcruz. Org with an average contribution of 67. That is the power of the grassroots. Mark tauscheck, kcci 8 news, shaina cruz says he will start campaigning in New Hampshire the same way he won iowa, face to face with what he calls courageous conservatives. And after keeping a commanding lead during his Iowa Campaign, donald trump suffering a blow right out of the gate. Still, a nearcapacity crowd welcomed trump with boisterous applause last night. The candidate kept his remarks uncharacteristically short, and cordial. Now trump moves on to New Hampshire. Donald trump we will go out to get the republican nomination and we will go on to easily beat hillary or bernie or whoever the hell they throw up there. Iowa, we love you, we thank you. Youre special. Darcie rice i dont think it was a concession speech because i dont think hell ever give up. Thats just trump. So i dont think of it that way. I think hes going to keep fighting. Shaina trump also left for New Hampshire following his speech last night. Elizabeth and it wasnt a caucus victory, but marco rubio after coming in third place. Sen.

Mollie you have been working on this for six months with extra tsa, what else . Heaven rental cars, extra staff, materialize. Mollie sort of a blessing in disguise, thank you very much.
