Trump's inauguration ceremony likely moving indoors due to frigid weather forecast

Source: NBC

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration swearing-in ceremony is likely going to move indoors due to a frigid weather forecast in the nation's capital Monday, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Inauguration day is often cold, but Monday looks to be especially so. The high is expected to be roughly 20 degrees, with a low of 6 degrees, and strong winds.

The last time the ceremony was held indoors was Ronald Reagan's second inauguration; the parade was also canceled that year.

Wow...like that's never happened before. Funny how silent they get when the temps hit 90's/100's in late April or early May.

they should continue to leave the U.S. flags at half staff.

Look for nutty MTG to start screaming about the Democrats ruining the weather for the inauguration in 5,4,3….

and whine about it for the foreseeable future.

I hope DC's streets will be so icy on Monday that nobody can drive on them.

John F. Kennedy's inauguration on January 20, 1961 was held in subfreezing temperatures and heavy snow.
The snowstorm caused transportation issues and threatened to cancel the inauguration parade.
What happened?
A major winter storm dropped 8 inches of snow the night before the inauguration.
The snowstorm caused traffic jams and stranded over 1,400 cars on Pennsylvania Avenue.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, District of Columbia employees, and Boy Scouts worked overnight to clear the streets.
The snowstorm also reduced visibility at Washington National Airport, preventing former President Herbert Hoover from attending.
The inauguration parade was almost canceled due to the snow.
Kennedy delivered his inaugural address without a hat or overcoat in 20°F weather.

Trump is a wuss
