FARGO, N.D. (AP) - How cold is it in North Dakota? Too cold for a dip into icy waters for charity.

Officials with Special Olympics North Dakota pulled the plug on Saturday’s annual Polar Plunge in Fargo. The event was scheduled in the parking lot of a local hotel.

Temperatures on Saturday hovered around 10 below zero.



The group’s Facebook page indicated that officials hope to reschedule the event, but added that people who signed up for Fargo have the option to participate in a March 22 plunge in Grand Forks.

The forecast called for a high of 5-below in Fargo on Sunday.
