Anyone going on a Polar Plunge New Years Day?

[exitseven]

I have done these before and it is a good day for it but I am not feeling well.

[RobT312]

Not this year , no longer in the right city for that, but I have done it in the past on a very cold day with a few buddies. I did it in a speedo and It was awesome. Nice pic exitseven, that’s the one I did in Southie!

[lightbulb27]

I did snorkling in bahamas and it was chilly enough bath water. I'm good

hope you feel better soon.

@lightbulb27 Thank you, 😎😎😎

I did the whole plunge through a hole in ice once at the reservoir, for all I know we'd have to drill holes to do the plunge right now. It might not yet be frozen over but who knows.

I might try it as long as no one with a harpoon was around.

@daniela1982 I rode on a Greyhound bus and sat next to a drunk guy that sang :"Tom Dooley" for over an hour before he fell asleep.

[Daniela1982]

I bet you wished he would be like Tom hanging from a tree.

@daniela1982 I haven't thought of that in 30 years. Thanks for this.

I don't know how polar it would be, it was nearly 60 degrees here, today. If these people are so brave, why don't they wait `til the dead of Winter: early Feb?

[exitseven]

Yes, there is one in February that is like that. I have never done it but may do it someday.

My older sister has. As she got out of the water, her husband didn’t want to give her a towel at first.

long time since I've jumped into a stream up there in the mountains, where the rivers are born... good times

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for taking a plunge in the new year in past I have done it & as for this year it’s almost 80. f outside so I’ll take a cold shower instead.

[MTC29]

It's going to be 84F / 29C here today. I might go to the pool for a swim, but it won't be polar.

[najekim]

Nope. But I do remember one year in the Upper Midwest when a young lady went into the water with a string bikini on. When she rose out of the water her bottoms fell off. Twas a sight to behold.

[TrueConfection]

No way

[humanearth]

Nope, I'm maybe crazy, but not that crazy

[msc545]

Uh, no. Not cold enough here.

[exitseven]

It was 50 degrees here which is unusual. I did my last one 5 years ago and it was in the 20s.

[msc545]

It is in the 50's here now.
