To Cold for Polar Bears

January 1st is the date that many Polar Bear Plunge's are held. Participants in these events often do it to support the charity of their choice others simply do it to have some fun. The event is all about jumping into cold water. This tradition is popular in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Sadly in this area where the temp was 3 degrees this morning and the high temperature would be 14 the Polar Bear Plunges were canceled.

Have you ever participated in a Polar Bear Plunge??

  4. I had a friend who did one of these over the new year. I was so jealous that she had that much bravery!!

  5. I've heard of this but I honestly don't think I would be brave enough! It takes not only endurance but definitely a big dose of courage too . . .

  6. I've never participated but have seen similar events like this on tv. I can not even imagine taking the plunge. It's gotten into the single digit temperatures here and I can barely stand it :).

  8. Nooo! I can't think of anything worse to do. Plunging into cold water sounds like a really bad idea.
