Today we cover the:

  • 1961 Kennedy Inauguration, known as either “The January 1961 nor'easter” or “The Kennedy Inaugural Snowstorm”?
  • 1841 William Henry Harrison Inauguration where the weather played a role in the day and how long he stayed in office, sadly.
  • 1853 Franklin Pierce Inauguration that led to another fatality.
  • 1937 Franklin D. Roosevelt Inauguration that should have, and could have, but was not, rained out.
  • 1985 Ronald Reagan Inauguration that narrowly escaped disaster if not for the move to stage it indoors for the first time ever.
