Polar Bear Plunge

This morning I witnessed the annual Polar Bear Plunge at Northwestern University's beach into the "tepid" waters of Lake Michigan . The water was a "balmy "33 degrees F. They clear off a patch of beach area and created  a little swimming  hole as the lake is gusty wild and icey. There are fire fighters for rescue  on standby and a warming tent nearby. None the less, it  was chilly as I got splashed a few times. It looked like exhilarating fun,Perhaps next year I will plunge in as well.
