MILWAUKEE  After all the attention showered upon Iowa, New Hampshire and a coast-to-coast string of states with elections this month, the voters of Wisconsin were anticipating having the presidential race to themselves for a week.

But coming contests in Ohio and Texas, as well as a major snowstorm on Sunday, interrupted those plans. The storm also derailed visits by Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, who canceled campaign stops two days before the Wisconsin primary.

“The campaign has been intense elsewhere in the country, but I don’t feel like it’s been intense here,” said Susan Lund, a legal secretary from Whitefish Bay, a suburb of Milwaukee. Even so, Ms. Lund managed to bump into Mrs. Clinton as she ducked into a grocery store on Sunday.

As freezing rain, snow and ice forced Mrs. Clinton to cancel a full day of campaign events Sunday, severe weather warnings in northern Wisconsin kept Mr. Obama away from the state entirely. He was able to fly to Chapel Hill, N.C., for a private meeting Sunday morning with John and Elizabeth Edwards, whose endorsements he is seeking in his duel with Mrs. Clinton.
