While Republicans seeking the party’s 2024 presidential nomination make their final push ahead of the critical Jan. 15 Iowa caucus, hazardous winter weather across the state has forced some of them to change their campaign plans.

As of Tuesday morning, much of Iowa remains under a winter storm warning after heavy snow and strong winds began on Monday. The warning is in effect until Tuesday evening for most of Iowa, with snow accumulation ranging from 2 to 3 inches over the state’s northern portion to 8 to 9 inches toward the southeast.
