    Exciting weather forecast for Mexico, all the hallmarks of an oncoming mini ice age. Snow in Mexico City at this time of year is most unusual:

    "Change" voters favor Trump in MS by 2-1 margin. "Values" voters favor Cruz in MS by an even bigger margin.

    A reminder:

    12 Can win in November
    34 shares my values
    28 tells it like it is
    26 Can bring change

    Cruz could be around 30-35 in Mississippi.

    Chuck Todd ‏@chucktodd 9m9 minutes ago
    Cruz is winning late deciders in MS but not by a huge margin. Trump was competitive with late deciders

    But Trump looks safe.

    Looks bad for Rubi-o
    Looks very good for Trump.
    Cruz and Kasich may come a strong second but Trump looks like he is leading comfortably in both Mississippi and Michigan.

    I love exit poll leaks, it 's like a puzzle but with numbers:

    https://twitter.com/SteveKornacki/status/707358738408153089

    Late deciders are 26% in Mississippi.
    It sure looks like a 2 way race there, but the 10 point margin is probably not enough for Cruz to beat Trump, Trump is definitely over 40 there, he could hit or break his Nevada record.

    The trees were the right height in Michigan 4 years ago. I guess they grew.

    In contrast Trump described New Hampshire as bucolic. If only he could talk down to the little guy like Romney can...

    We've had a mild winter until this cold run in late February and early March. Forecast at the moment for Easter at the end of March looks very interesting but I won't say any more. Across the world we've seen snow for the first time in modern times 300km south of Hanoi, and in Okinawa at 26N in Japan. Moscow currently getting lots of snow in March. Mexico has had a very severe cold winter.

    This video gives a good indicator of what to expect going into the grand solar minimum around 2030:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I_lsZCAWi4

    It should cool significantly under La Nina conditions over the next few years, and then it should get noticeably cooler particularly from 2019. I think it'll take until then until we're finally rid of the global warming nonsense, but a lot of people are facing the wrong way right now.

    That article has the funniest correction I have seen.
    *Correction, March 2, 2016: This post originally misidentified Marco Rubio as nonwhite. He is not nonwhite; he is Hispanic. (Return.)
    That's the problem with the definition 'Hispanic'.

    Kasich shortening rapidly in thin market on Betfair - now in to 9.2, and a mere £6 would make it 8.4, not much longer than Cruz at 5.9. Trump 1.62.

    Logically they wont release exit polls from Michigan until all precincts close, so that's one hour after most of them close.

    I do, and I have quoted him extensively on here in the past. His weatheraction website is a must for any serious meteorologist, and his peer reviewed long range forecasts are second to none. For example he had the cold snap that we've had over the past 4 or 5 days pinned down 100 days ahead. I shan't spill the beans about what he has forecast for Easter but its interesting to say the least!

    Statistically its more likely to snow at Easter (whenever it falls) compared to Christmas. We had snow in Easter 2008, and I remember orienteering near Dolgellau in North Wales when it snowed at Easter in 1998, and hailed pretty hard too.

    Um... so the licence fee would pay for programmes direct? hardly draconian
    But they would lose overseas sales income.
    I wouldn't trust ACE to create anything. They are one of the most useless quangos out there. Rewarding nepotism and wasting public money.

    And I support proper public support of the arts - just ACE ceased to be fit for purpose years ago.

    With just less than 1% in from one Detroit suburban county:

    Kasich 36
    Trump 35
    Cruz 19
    Rubio 8

    ...and Sanders a hair's breadth ahead of Clinton there.
    Sanders needs to win downtown Detroit, african americans are a majority there.

    Surely Clinton will walk downtown Detroit. Sanders' best shot must be the suburbs and rural areas?

    Rural Michigan is going 2-1 for Trump.
    Kasich barely tied with Trump in the Detroit suburbs.

    Michigan (early results) 8 to 9%, well under threshold of 15%. Same for Mississippi based on exit polls.

    That's Marco Rubio 0 v 2 Voting thresholds

    On the Republican side, Kasich has certainly done well enough to stay in the race.

    I need a few more votes in to project Michigan for Trump.
    As long as he is tied with Kasich in the Detroit suburbs and beat him by 2-1 in rural Michigan he should be OK, but it's too early.

    "Change" voters favor Trump in MS by 2-1 margin. "Values" voters favor Cruz in MS by an even bigger margin.

    A reminder:

    12 Can win in November
    34 shares my values
    28 tells it like it is
    26 Can bring change

    Cruz could be around 30-35 in Mississippi.

    Chuck Todd ‏@chucktodd 9m9 minutes ago
    Cruz is winning late deciders in MS but not by a huge margin. Trump was competitive with late deciders

    But Trump looks safe.

    Looks bad for Rubi-o

    Polls put him at 26% approximately, though with big margin (21v33). He's on 30% at the moment

    Dems: Still almost no votes reported from Wayne county in Detroit - strongly suspect that will put Clinton ahead. But should be reasonably close overall, as Sanders is winning almost everywhere else.

    GOP: yes, Trump by a clear margin now.

    On the GOP side the Detroit suburbs have almost finished counting, that was Kasich best area, so Trump's lead will only grow, and Kasich's lead over Cruz will get smaller.

    The attacks by the establishment back fired, people like Romney reminded voters why they hate people like Romney.
    And Romney campaigned for both Rubio and Kasich in Michigan.

    Also it's clear that the NBC/WSJ poll is crap, due to their flawed methodology, as I suspected.

    What would Cruz poll in NY? That's the question. Even as the non-Trump candidate.

    Although I agree it's a good night for Cruz, it may well not be enough.

    No, they will wait until next Tuesday when Trump humiliates Rubio in Florida and beats Kasich in Ohio, then they will decide whether to take cyanide or electrocute themselves as the race becomes a Trump v Cruz head to head!
