...scant hours, the polls will close, and the talking heads will have something besides low-pressure centers to hold forth on. Then it'll be time to haul out your galoshes. But it won't be slush you'll be wading through. 6 p.m.: The Spinshine State

Ice-time is scarce, and we’re usually meted out the poorest of the poor—ice that...
