A brutal polar vortex is set to bury the Big Apple in snow Sunday and then deliver deadly single-digit temperatures that will feel like 15 degrees below zero.

It was 48 degrees at noon on Jan. 20, 2017, when Donald J. Trump was first sworn in as president at the Capitol. This time around, with a forecast high of only 23 degrees, he would have been taking the oath during one of the coldest inaugurations in decades.

Less chilly and lighter winds tomorrow, then warmer 40s Friday and Saturday. Rain showers are possible Saturday, then a chance of snow showers Sunday as the next cold blast arrives. 4:17 PM: PM Update: CWG’s forecast for tonight through the weekend Tonight: Temperatures fall back through the 20s with a lighter but lingering breeze.

In his statement, Trump addressed two obsessions of the MAGA movement: Ronald Reagan and crowd sizes. The incoming president noted that Reagan was sworn in inside the Capitol in 1985, at that moment becoming the oldest president to be inaugurated. That record was eventually bested by Joe Biden in 2021. It will again be broken by Trump next week.

President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn into office Monday from the Capitol Rotunda as single-digit wind chill is expected.

The worst weather for an inaugural came in March 1909, when 10 inches of snow forced William H. Taft to move indoors to be sworn in.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony is moving indoors to the Capitol rotunda because of a frigid weather forecast in the nation's capital Monday, the president-elect announced on social media Friday.
