6+ Inches of Snow Possible; Wind Gusts 50-60 MPH Expected

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Get ready for some major melting over the weekend before some hazardous conditions move into the state.

A light rain-snow mix will move across the state early on Sunday, dropping accumulations with the heaviest totals in northern Iowa. Wind gusts will reach up to 25 mph, so blowing snow could affect travel on Sunday.

The bigger system will move in Tuesday, and there are still quite a few elements that will need to be monitored over the next few days to determine the specifics, but here is what we know so far -- A large system will set up late Monday through early Wednesday.

DES MOINES, Iowa – The campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is raising questions about the involvement of Microsoft in the Iowa Caucuses, now just days away, and has built a independent system to check the official results.

For the first time this year, Microsoft partnered with the Iowa Democratic and Republican Parties to provide a technology platform with which the parties will run their caucuses. The software giant created separate mobile apps for each party, which officials at hundreds of caucuses across the state will use to report out results from individual precincts to party headquarters for tabulation.

The arrangement has aroused the suspicions of aides to Sanders, whose regularly warns that corporate power and the billionaire class are trying to hijack democracy. Pete D’Alessandro, who is running the Iowa portion of Sanders’ campaign, questioned the motives of the major multinational corporation in an interview with MSNBC: “You’d have to ask yourself why they’d want to give something like that away for free.”

"I mean, are they going to sell if they get into a little bit of trouble?" Trump asked. "I don't think it's something that should be sold."

He added: "We have to be great stewards of this land. This is magnificent land. And we have to be great stewards of this land."

According to this article posted a couple of days ago, the Hammond’s ranch and other ranch-lands surrounding the refuge sit  on an area of precious metals, minerals, and uranium.

Reps. Rob Bishop and Jason Chaffetz, both R-Utah, last week introduced the long-anticipated bill after spending more than three years meeting with stakeholders ranging from ranchers to conservation groups.

"Putin said that he had been referring to an iconic debate between Lenin and Joseph Stalin, when the two revolutionary leaders were arguing about the best way to organize the new communist country. While Stalin suggested offering the Soviet Union’s member states, such as Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and the south of Russia, autonomy within a federation, Lenin disapproved and put forward a plan giving each republic the right to secede from the USSR."

According to this polling from Fox News, it would appear that Rand would not make the cut:
