By Ray Bogan (Political Correspondent), Snorre Wik (Photographer/ Video Editor)
President-elect Donald Trump announced his inauguration will be held inside the Capitol rotunda due to the extreme cold temperatures forecast for Washington, D.C., on Monday, Jan. 20. The area has had consistent freezing conditions throughout the month of January. There is also still snow on the ground from the storm on Jan. 6, which dumped about a foot in Washington and Maryland.

Trump said Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, D.C., will host a viewing party. Trump said he also plans to join the crowd for the inaugural parade after the ceremony.
