Even though the temperatures were in the low 30's on the day of the plunge, the winds were really blowing. Congratulations to all of the nominees and for the brave souls that took the plunge. The water was cold, and there were even bags of ice dumped into the water to make it even colder. Get ready for next year. Who will your candidates be?
