    Nor'easter covers Democracy Plaza—for a short time

    The nor'easter that is dumping wet, heavy snow on New York City (and other areas hammered by Superstorm Sandy last week) temporarily obscured the NBC News Democracy Plaza electoral college map on the Rockefeller Plaza ice rink—until the Zamboni began to clean off the rink.

    Follow our coverage of the nor'easter here and on Weather.com. See more pictures from Anthony Quintano's Instagram feed here.

    I love that Nina Bush photoset. Probably one of the few advantages to voting in person. It's less of a production when you're filling it out on your couch.

    A sample Ocean County ballot

    By John Makely, NBC News

     Nikolas Policastro, 20, didn't think his first time voting would be on a bus. "If I could have picked a scenario this would have been the last," he said after exiting a 38-foot mobile polling station set up by the Ocean County Board of Elections to help out after Superstorm Sandy thwarted their plans for election day. On voting Policastro said, "I feel it's important to have a voice. Everyone can complain that the president and Congress aren't doing a good job, but if you don't vote then you don't have a say."

The shelter was one of the few places that the family could house their extended family of five cats, five dogs and five three-week-old puppies.

    Policastro gives a kiss to one of his five puppies that are staying with him and his family at a Red Cross shelter. Paige Shaw of the Red Cross pets the puppies' mother, "Bella."
