Politics | A historic moment unfolds in frigid temps

Shelton Iddeen, 57, of Greensboro, N.C., arrived at the Mall at 4 a.m. and huddled in front of an ambulance to warm up.

Well, not everyone. Lots of people are fleeing the District in advance of the Inaugural Parade, which starts in about 30 minutes.

We're not far off the route. Might catch some of it as we head back to Arlington.

Great day for a parade, but too many people have already spent too many hours out in too much cold weather. This great January sunshine can warm only the soul, not the body.
