Nearly 6,000 people jumped into the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean back in February to raise money for Special Olympics of NJ. It was a cold day, and the water was even colder, but after all was said and done, nearly $1.6 million dollars was raised...

With the Polar Bear Plunge just two days away, I decided to take a walk on the boardwalk to get an idea of what the conditions will be like on Saturday. Today is one of the coldest days of the year, with temps only in the 20's. Thankfully it won't be as cold on Saturday for the plunge, but does it really matter anyway?? The water temps will be only around 30-33 degrees.
