How did the weather favor the Federalists in the $1787-1788$ ratification debates?

The summer heat limited debate to short bursts and Federalists had more talking points.

The spring planting season coincided with ratification debates but very few Federalists were planters.

The ratification debates took place during the fall harvest, when AntiFederalists in the countryside were in the fields.

Winter storms likely inhibited Anti$-$Federalists from arriving at conventions in colder states.
