Check it out - over 2,000 brave souls made it to the Virginia Beach oceanfront this past weekend for the annual Polar Plunge event to benefit the Special Olympics of Virginia. Temperatures were in the lower 30's, the wind was howling and the snow was flying - but that didn't stop these people from raising money for a great cause. Check out the Polor Plunge video courtesy of our friends at VaBeach.com.

Okay, so I guess I was wrong about the weather...two weeks ago I posted how the weather was warming up and about how quickly spring was approaching. We'll, this weekend it snowed. And, in fact, there is more snow in the forecast this week. But, for those of you that are familiar with Hampton Roads weather, many long-timers say when it snows in February, that March is historically warmer than normal. So, I say bring on the snow - the more it snows now, the better March will be for hitting the beach!
