I've done it when it's been 6 degrees. And at the 20 to 30 degree marks. It's truly invigorating for both the mind and the body. No one should discount it until they at least try it once.<br /> I do the Polar Plunge every year myself, it’s not only a wonderfully easy way to raise money for a charity…it’s great for staying acclimated to the winter climate here.

Lame. The first time it was done, it was interesting, but now they do a polar plunge thing every year. A bunch of people jump in a cold lake. Whoop de freakin' do. it’s a stupid publicity stunt, done to get the media involved. Lame. The first time it was done, it was interesting, but now they do a polar plunge thing every year.
