This year will mark my 25th year as part of the AC Polar Bear Club. Once when it was so cold that most of the other towns cxl’d theirs. Twice I’ve had the opportunity to come out of the water & make snow angels on the beach in just my bathing suit…brings new meaning to the term, “snow balls” 😲

Sadly, I was away earlier this month & didn’t take one with me but I usually participate in [Prehistoric Creatures Day](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-customer-is-always-insane/427326/75) & get a picture with them out somewhere that learned about right here on The Dope
