And here in Buffalo... it was the start of the Blizzard of 85. Schools were out all that week because of it, never mind that the next day(1/20/85) was the 1st observance of MLK Day in New York State.
@MeInTX Reagan canceled the outdoor inaugural activities due to the bitter weather and was took the oath of office via private ceremony on the 20th. Please refer to the ABC News Weekend Report that I've posted.
@80sCommercialVault I guess I should have been clearer. The oath of office is always given on the 20th (or March 4 prior to 1937), but the public ceremonies are held on Monday if the 20th falls on a Sunday. The (cancelled) inaugural parade and other public events were always scheduled for Monday the 21st.
@MeInTX I realize that the largely ceremonial inaugural event (Most of which seems to have been canceled) didn't happen until the 21st, but the fact remains that Reagan was sworn in on Super Bowl Sunday, which appears to have been broadcast as well. The two events clearly overlapped and affected each other, as evidenced by much of the news reports my Uncle recorded that weekend. It's not something I would correct someone on.
@80sCommercialVault When I think "inauguration", I think of the public events, which is what I thought the original poster was referring to. But yes, Reagan's second term did officially begin on Super Bowl Sunday 1985, and the official oath of office was administered on that day. Let's agree that inauguration events were spread out over two days and leave it at that.
in cheryl jennings, is that the one that's still here?

@dinfg6 Actually, Reagan's inauguration was on Monday the 21st. Presidential inaugurations don't happen on a Sunday.
