I think I might be doing this for New Year's for charity. Anyone done it before? What'd you think? Freezing water and I aren't that compatible. :o

8O I think I'd die. I can't stand cold water at all. The only way I would ever do that is if someone tied me up and threw me in against my will. I'm sure there must be some "warmer" charity events.

Well, but if you're up for it, good luck and try not to freeze. :)

I am okay with being outdoors when it is windy and cold from running outside in the winter and working outside in inclement weather previously. I really hate the thought of frigid water though, but I like to have unique experiences. I recall going white water rafting in the early spring while wearing a wet suit and going under. The ride back upstream was absolutely freezing. I'll see how it goes since I am usually impulsive about stuff like this.

Me absolutely too. My teeth have been known to start chattering around 50 degrees. Just thinking about it is making me cold!
