Well get to caucus results and updates in just a moment. But first. A blizzard warning is in effect tonight for folks north and west of the metro. Thats on top of the snow that shut down schools across the state today. Lets go straight to meteorologist Brett Mcintyre the snow meant the morning commute in the metro was slow going. Between six oclock this morning, and 2 30 this afternoon, the iowa state patrol says they responded to 26 weather related accidents. They took 44 other Service Calls in the metro. And over at the airport. Flights were cancelled this morning. As the snow began to fly. The Des Moines International airport saw a few canceled flights.

Smashing the previous record high by 50percent. And on the democratic side. Hillary clinton was the leading vote getter. But by the narrowest of margins. The final tally from the Democratic Party gives clinton 49pointeight percent of the vote. And Bernie Sanders 49pointsixpercent. Thats the closest vote in iowa Democratic Party history. Their only other opponent. Martin omalley. Also dropped out of the race last night. The party says 171thousand democrats turned out to caucus. To secure her victory Hillary Clinton had to revert to the luck of a coin toss. Six times clinton reportedly won coin tosses at six caucus sites to break ers. The sanders camp says it doesnt have a problem with the coin toss tiebreaker. Those are the rules and they knew them going in. But since the race was so close, the campaign is asking the Democratic Party to double check its numbers. The sanders folks are asking to look at the hard copy of the results from each precinct. The iowa Democratic Party says because it isnt a straw poll or primary. In fact, most precincts didnt use paper forms. The results came in on says members of all three campaigns were there in person to be part of the verification process. 18 15 43 most of what was going on last night is we were flagging results that either our app caught that didnt quite seem right or the campaigns were hearing things that maybe we should check into this. So we would get together with them and wed look into it an come to a resolution. So we wanted our recording process ot be as inclusive as possible to them and this morning, we were able to get to 100 reporting. Our results are verified and they are final 03 doctor ben carson says his campaign was sabotaged as the caucus was getting underway. Congressman steve king sent out this tweet. Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to cruz, i hope. King says the tweet was in reference to a cnn report saying carson would take a break following the caucuses. Dropping out. Mike dasilva has more. Carsons Campaign Manager tried to knock down the rumors last night. As voting was underway. 20 36 3040 so were hearing rumblings that dr. Carson is actually going to sit out new hampsire . Can you address that . This started with a cnn report, which is just an abject lie after the results were in. Carson addressed his supporters. 21 19 5021 20 11 i was reasonably happy today until i you know discovered the dirty tricks that were going on and people spreading rumors that i had dropped out and that people should caucus for somebody else. I mean do you think that thats something thats acceptable . Today congressman steve king, national cochair for the Cruz Campaign, tweeted i respect ben carson regret any miscommunications. ted cruz himself issuing a statement saying that his campaign updated cnn post saying carson wasnt going to New Hampshire or south carolina. Cruz adding that what his Political Team should have done was send around the followup statement from the Carson Campaign clarifying that he was indeed staying in the race. Carson supporter Jason Wisneski was at Clay Elementary School in altoona last night and says he witnessed the falsehoods that were being spread. 16 47 3916 47 55 i made the case for ben carson and then i sat down and then the cruz speaker went up and ended his speech with saying that ben carson was dropping out of the race and that they shouldnt waste their vote on him, they should vote for cruz instead. fortunately, ben carsons wife saved the day at that caucus location. 16 47 57 it was like divine intervention candy carson just walked in the room immediately after he was done and said basically what i said because i had gotten up and said that that was a lie, and candy came in and corroborated perpetuated by them. But wisneski says the problem is that not everyone at every caucus site got the memo and many were misinformed. Today carson said the person on the Cruz Campaign who is responsible for that kind of blatant lying should be fired. Last nights caucuses brought out record crowds. And it was also an historic night for women coming up. Breaking barriers. How women were among the big winners on caucus night. Then at 930. Moving on. The Iowa Caucuses are over. And candidates are now hard at work in New Hampshire. How last nights results could impact the outcome there. From who hd iowas High Definition leader. Youre watching the its time to rise and shine. At kum go, were doing more for you to start your day right. Like serving up a friendly good morning along with breakfast sandwiches breakfast pizza, yes pizza, donuts muffins coffee that are all made fresh hot in our stores kitchens every day. Kum go. Where means more. It was one of the closest races in iowa caucus history. Hillary clinton claimed the Democratic Victory by less than one percentage point. Justin surrency explains why her opponent is bigger than Bernie Sanders or the republican party. Born seven years before women vote. Shes seen just about everything. But monday night for Pleasant HillsRuline Steininger was a first. I know what we are capable of doing. The iowa caucus victory was more than just a slim edge over Bernie Sanders. It will go down in the record books as the 1st woman to win the iowa caucus. Dianne bystrom,iowa state director of the Carrie Chapman catt center for women and politics says it will have a lasting effect. Research shows that when women run for Higher Office including when Hilary Clinton ran in 2008, that it inspires other women to run for levels of office, kind of a role model effect. An impact that cannot be ignored in iowa shes empowering other women. In 2015 the state elected their first female ussenator in republican joni ernst and this year republican representative Linda Upmeyer was named the first female house speaker. I think that Hillary Clinton along with a lot of other congresswomen and representatives set the tone as to get out there and say what you believe in. There are over 3600 bricks at iowa state universitys plaza of heroines that honors women who have made an impact. The history of two women in the Iowa Caucuses could lead to many more bricks and a Strong Foundation of women in politics. Im proud that shes in there, whether my opinion matters or not, whether im a democrat or republican. Pride that clinton hopes to capture. And maybe another historic moment to bookend steiningers life of women in politics. Where the promise is that dream and grandchirldren never fades, but inspires generations to nomination. Lynn bystrom says the United States world compared to other democracies when looking at women elected to national assemblies. Eum. Owl risae whats americas bestselling brand of trucks .
