There is a long history of gale winds and frost on Inauguration Day, often inside the White House itself. Andrew Johnson turned up drunk for Lincoln's second Inaugural; Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt barely spoke on their way to the Capitol, and Ike refused to have coffee with Truman. The Clintons, true to form, were nearly half an hour late to meet the elder Bushes at the White House in 1993.

In the Map Room, where Franklin Roosevelt plotted World War II, they discussed the broad outlines of an agreement that would avoid the first indictment of a man who had been President.
