Oh, I hope the weather is frightful
It'll make me feel so delightful
Though I wish no woe for the Bro
Let it snow, let it snow, REALLY snow

Sleet and hail would be appropriate.

If necessary, they are probably prepared to move it inside like they did for the second Reagan inauguration.

In a swirling snowstorm, police and security inspect the podium where President Ronald Reagan was supposed to have been sworn into office for a second term, Jan. 20, 1985. On the following day, extremely cold temperatures forced the swearing-in ceremonies to be moved indoors, and the inaugural parade was canceled. Source: "Washington Weather"

"During the early-to-mid 1980s, the East Coast experienced some extraordinary cold waves that were dubbed the Siberian Express or Arctic Express. One of the last of these amazing cold waves occurred on Jan. 21, 1985, during Ronald Reagan's second inauguration. It remains the the coldest inauguration on record. The low temperature on Jan. 21 was -4°F and the temperature at noon was only 7°F. Wind chill temperatures fell to -10° to -20°F. The oath of office was moved inside to the Capitol Rotunda and the parade was canceled.

"Oh, I hope the weather is frightful"

The weather is the least of our problems.

“Oh, I hope the weather is frightful

Though I wish no woe for the Bro
Let it snow, let it snow, REALLY snow”

LOL! Will have to check out the forecast. Hope your incantation here works.

Forecast for Tuesday: 34 degrees, partly cloudy. There’s a 50% chance of snow on Sunday and Monday—the question is if crews can clear it all.

It's a shame that they won't have today's weather: 7 degrees.
