#13 - Participating in a New Years day Polar Bear Dip

It is true in fact. on New Years Day 2013, my brave friend Tori and I braved the -5°C outside to jump in the lake off the Murray Street park in Grimsby. The National Weather Service Forecast Office estimated that Lake Ontario would be approximately 4°C so I convinced myself that meant the water would feel warmer than the air..boy was I WRONG! Man, was it cold. We survived, no worse for the wear. Enjoy the pictures below! Also, I thought I'd draw strength by wearing my Canada hoodie down to the water...I am Canadian right!? I should be able to brave the cold...right ha ha.
