The first time, we got ankle deep and noped out. (Before and after, A. shared stories of being peer-pressured to do summer Baltic dips and swims all her life and never understanding how people could call it anything but freezing. Like, yes, July-Aug is as warm as the water will get, but that still doesn't count as warm.) But the second time, we managed up to the shoulders for about two seconds. And then I kind of couldn't stop doing the hot-cold-hot cycle? It never got less frigid, but it did start to feel good.
