Fox just called Nevada for Mitt Romney. Huckabee's currently showing #5, behind McCain, Thompson, and Ron Paul, though only a small percentage of votes are actually in.
UPDATE: Bob Krumm is in South Carolina and says people care more about the snow that's falling than about the primary now: "Snow-just the mention of snow- might make all turnout predictions worthless here."
It's also snowing in Atlanta. Not a flake here, so far.
ANOTHER UPDATE: A report from Nevada reader Charles Chase -- click "read more" to read it.

Glenn: Am a daily reader. Thought that I would pass along to you what I observed in Sparks, NV this morning. I am a Republican who has voted in every election and primary since 1956 [and voted for myself in 1972 as the Republican nominee for Congress in California's 11th district [San Mateo County].
I left my home which is two or three miles from my assigned site at Reed High School in Sparks, NV. Immediately ran into a horrible traffic jam, and when I finally got to the school there was no parking left. I had to park across the street at a shopping center and take the long walk to the high school in 24 degree temperatures. When I got there, there was a very long line four abreast in front of the school and which snaked down the side. When I got to the halfway point of the line, it appeared as though the end of the line was quite far away, and I would estimate that I still had to about an eighth or quarter of a mile just to get to the end.
What the Republican leaders did, was have every Republican in Sparks, NV go to exactly one place. The traffic jams and exceedingly long lines were also being reported over the radio at Galena High School and Reno High School.
Washoe County where these three polling places are located has almost 100,000 registered Republicans [this is Republican territory]. Statewide the Republicans expected a turnout of about 30,000, and the Reno Gazette Journal expected a turnout of just 8% of registered Republicans. When I saw the line, I felt like all of them had arrived at my caucus site.
At 73 years of age, and having recently been hospitalized for acute bronchitis, along with some others, I just could not cope with cold and standing in line for a long time, and turned around went to my car and came home. Because the Republican leaders are such idiots not to understand the pulse of Republicans here and arranged to have more traditional polling places, Fred lost a vote. I feel guilty for not staying but this is a terrible way to get seniors out to vote Republican.
