I pointed out the amusing cancellation of skiing in Colorado due to snow. This is even more amusing. USA Today points out that one of the very first events to be canceled due to the cold weather was – wait for it – an annual "Polar Bear Plunge."
OMAHA (AP) — Weather forecasters predict Nebraska will receive a treacherous mix of sleet, freezing rain and snow this weekend, so it's understandable that events may get canceled.But one of the first cancellations announced Friday afternoon came from an unexpected source: organizers of the Polar Bear Plunge.
The chilling swim in Omaha's Zorinsky Lake raises money for the Special Olympics, but organizers decided to postpone the event because of the weather.
Oh, I know it was because of worries over road conditions. But it's still funny.
