16. This will almost certainly be the coldest inauguration since Reagans 2nd in 1985.

The temperature at noon that day was 7 degrees. According to the National Weather Service the weather was Sunny, but bitter cold. Wind chill temperatures fell into the -10° to -20°F range in the afternoon. Reagan's inauguration was also moved inside the Capitol, the last one to do so until this year.

I honestly believe Trump is afraid of getting sick if it is outdoors (he's already clearly in poor health) - catching pneumonia would probably kill him.

He's also afraid of the bad optics of really small crowds because of the cold weather (they were already going to be small crowds - lots of empty hotel rooms available - but the weather will knock the crowds down even more significantly.)
