What Snow Could Mean for Inauguration Day and the Events Ahead

Washington: So, there’s a chance of snow this Sunday, and it’s got everyone buzzing. Depending on who you ask, the predictions vary. The National Weather Service says there’s a 40% chance of snow, while the Capital Weather Gang is a bit more cautious, saying it might just be a light dusting. Apple’s weather app is feeling a bit more optimistic, predicting one to three inches.

Now, for folks in other cities, that might not seem like much. But here, even a little snow can cause a big stir. Grocery stores might run out of essentials, roads can get messy, and schools sometimes close just in case.

Plus, it’s Inauguration Day, which is a huge deal, especially since it falls on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. President-elect Trump has a rally planned for 3 PM, right when the snow is expected to hit. The DC Department of Public Works is ready to jump into action if needed, keeping a close eye on the weather.

Regardless of the snow, one thing is for sure: it’s going to be cold. The Capital Weather Gang warns of biting winds and wind chills that could drop to the single digits. You know it’s chilly when Greenland has a warmer forecast!
