On Saturday at noon, Jeff and 102 'hearty souls' took the Polar Bear Plunge into Carlyle Lake to raise money for Special Olympics. It was 52 degrees and partly cloudy. Winds were from west at 15 mph and it felt like 45 degrees. The water temperature was a chilly 46 degrees. For the record, 46 degrees is cold! I raised $556.50. Over $23,000 was raised by the Carlyle lake jumpers. The Special Olympics website says 1045 plungers statewide raised $258,462. See the Photos section for photos!

Update! The Special Olympics website has posted pictures from the day of the plunge. You might see someone you know! Click here and go to the Carlyle Polar Plunge link.
