No OSS, I went to a car meet tonight in the Cobra car. Wind on the upper body is about like the Valkyrie with the barn door windshield. 48 degrees was just about cold enough for me. It was a 40 minute drive and I was not uncomfortable but have to admit I was happy to reach home. Not interested in 10 degrees

A little snow moving into the area Sun-Monday I believe but it’s going to get a bit colder too. Hope everyone dresses appropriately. High of 23 for Monday.

There are things I've done that I wouldn't be inclined to repeat - a big event on the National Mall is one of them (2 - Fourth of July's is plenty). Not to mention I HATE cold.

No interest to walk around with a giant bulls-eye on my back in the cold in a high crime disarmed victim zone... think I'll watch it remotely...

Absolutely right Brian.  cooldude

I worked a block behind the Whitehouse for 18 years.  From the day of my retirement (14 years, 17 days ago), I've never set foot in the District again, for any purpose (and this is the best one I can think of).  As much as I'd like to go down there and fly the flag in my old camo fatigue jacket with all Strategic Air Command insignia still on it and captain bars hat, I won't be doing it.

They're moving it indoors...

Local weather says Sunday we get 1-3 more inches of snow (marvelous), and Monday (Inauguration Day) high 25, low 9, sunny and windy, and the DC concrete canyons make wind extra nasty.

Indoors also makes it harder for a sniper. 

TV it is.

It would also be very nice if we don't get any raving loony lefties acting up and causing trouble.   That's what those 4 foot batons are for.

The snow and cold windy weather predicted might be the reason.

I don't know who gets to make that decision (probably DC Govt), but it could also be they don't want to televise the huge numbers of rejoicing, deliriously happy DJT supporters that might show up anyway.

That sounds like a joke, but it might be true.

DJT said he wanted it indoors - and I can't say I disagree. With TV coverage, there will be lots of people watching the actual ceremony of the swearing-ins.

I'm going to be playing some music with the community orchestra I'm part of as part of our local MLK celebration downtown KCK.

We made plans to go.

I don't like the cold but we're still going.

They're going to allow people into the Capital One Arena to view the inauguration on big screens and then President Trump is supposed to speak to the crowd there afterwards.

If we don't manage to get in there, I figure, that I can find a barstool to watch it from.

Haven't checked D.C., but we're scheduled for 10" of snow today through tomorrow, so no to riding.

Great  Undecided

Actually, I don't mind it.

If we're gonna have winter, let it actually be winter, with snow.

Ill bet, no matter what the weather, if people show up outside, President Trump will do his best to address and thank them.

S.S. may try to dissuade him.

Agreed on the SS.   As was proven in the campaign, there's a lot of haters out there.

It's 20-something (with nasty wind chill) here too Jeff, and I just went out and put up my second flag.   cooldude

All my walks are covered with very slippery ice, but I did it anyway.
