4. The Inauguration Will Be Held
Mon Jan 6, 2025, 03:23 PM
Monday

Regardless of weather. I remember it was 28 degrees for Obama's first inauguration, and over a million people came. I was handing out my extra Hot Hands to the National Park police who were on duty. Reagan's second inauguration in 1985 was moved inside because it was 7 degrees out.

The Inauguration Day with the most "infamously bad weather" was one that saw William Howard Taft sworn in, Young said, which took place on March 4, 1909, nearly three decades before the official date was changed. The NWS also cites Taft's 1909 inauguration as the worst one in history in terms of inclement weather. The event was forced to be held inside after a storm came through the area and left Washington D.C. buried under a 10-inch thick blanket of snow, which Young said was very uncommon during the earlier years of the nation.

And, people can always tell the Orange Turd that wearing a coat isn't "manly", and he should go without one, like William Henry Harrison did. He caught pneumonia and was dead a month later.
