POCOPSON — You would think the drop in temperature from all this snowstorm business would stop people from jumping into frigid waters.
But you would be wrong. Because over 250 people with that very mindset thrashed about in the 38 degree Brandywine Creek on Saturday morning, and all in the name of a good cause.
A quick check of the hourly breakdown on weather.com at around 9:30 in the morning said the air temperature for splashdown at the Brandywine Valley Association’s annual Polar Plunge – usually around 11:30 – would be a brisk 29 degrees.
Of course with the wind chill factor, that drops to 15 degrees.
