Below 40!

It's been really cold out the last couple days (today is 17 with wind chill) and so the lake is finally below 40. We met up at the dock for a quick dip - it was so cold out, I didn't even want to be outside with all my clothes and layers on, and I wasn't sure I was going to go in until I actually dove in. One of my friends captured the image above right after I dove in :)

Anyhow, my watch said it was 39, and my friend's thermometer said 38, and it was cold! I wore my thin gloves and stayed in for only 5 minutes, but after it wasn't so hard to warm up. The thing that was killer was the wind. The water was pretty choppy and outside of the water, getting changed was so difficult. It is the solstice today, excited for the days to get longer. We had about 2 inches of snow yesterday - I hope we get more this winter!
