Here are the top three stories in Manchester today:

1. Secretary of State David Scanlan said final results for the House of Representatives elections won’t be available for a few more days as recounts continue. The seat for Rochester’s Ward 4 ended in a tie and will be decided by the Ballot Law Commission or by the new House via a vote. (InDepthNH)
2. An Amazon cargo facility recently opened at the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. The facility is expected to help improve shipping times just in time for the holiday shopping season, as well as offer new jobs for locals. (WMUR 9)
3. With winter just around the corner, forecasters estimate that the upcoming cold season will be similar to the last two years. New Hampshire can likely expect above-normal temperatures and below-normal snowfall this winter. (WMUR 9)
