1. Weather in Boston today not great for outdoor activities. I don't know about Springfield.

Hope the weather helps turnout. Also hope that anyone who may end up in overflow in Springfield is prepared for the weather. (The Convention Center in Boston is so big, I can't imagine people having to be outside.)
