Whose inauguration happened on the coldest day on record at 7 F?
Reagan’s second inauguration, in 1985, remains the coldest on record. The temperature at noon was 7 degrees Fahrenheit. Organizers moved the ceremony indoors and canceled the parade as the wind chill fell to at least minus-10 degrees. Curiously, Reagan’s first inauguration, in 1981, remains the warmest January swearing-in on record. It was 55 degrees Fahrenheit, with mostly cloudy skies.
