This Facebook photo appears to show a rather chilly Mary and her admiring daughter Shannon after Mary took part in the annual Polar Plunge into Lake George on New Year's morning.

The Saratogian reported that "more than 1,200 zany revelers ... raced into Lake George’s wind-whipped, bone-chilling waters Tuesday for this year’s Polar Plunge, held at Million Dollar Beach. ... Three waves of people — the first two had 500 each — ushered in 2013 with the spine-tingling ritual. A frigid north wind howled down the white-capped lake, making the 25-degree air temperature feel more like zero. Snow covered the beach as Polar Bears danced in bare feet to get warm. The water was a “balmy” 35, not quite cold enough to make ice."
Why do they do it? As far as we know, the answer is: Why not?
