We have very frigid temps today with highs only expected to remain in the single digits.  Besides that, we have light lake effect snow showers.  So it feels like a very January day.  On this inauguration day, Washington DC is also very cold and I hope that all attending the festivities are dressed warm.  I’m happy that I’m watching it on my TV in a warm room.
