A national meteorologist is in the Twin Cities this weekend to raise money for the Special Olympics by taking a frigid plunge.
Fox Weather meteorologist Ian Oliver took the plunge at Lake Nokomis Park in Minneapolis Friday after accepting the Polar Plunge challenge from FOX 9 meteorologist Ian Leonard.
The event, dubbed “Freeze-Ian for a Reason” by Fox Weather, was done to raise money for the Special Olympics. The two took the leap sporting matching wrestling costumes.
While it was Oliver’s first plunge, Leonard is a veteran cold plunger, having dipped into the arctic cold water more than 400 times in a 15-year period and raised more than $30 million for the Special Olympics.
The duo will plunge a few more times over the weekend, Fox News reports. To watch their plunge, go to http://pipr.es/KRbQozY.
