Just over a century ago on this date, in 1923, Calvin Coolidge took the oath of office in Plymouth, VT. David Ludlum, the author of the Vermont Weather Book, and expert on weather history, notes that the weather in Northfield – the closest report to Plymouth – was warm, never getting colder than 63 degrees, and while there was no specific report of the weather at 2:27 AM, when the oath was administered, the sky was clear the previous evening, and partly cloudy by sunrise.
