Swimming in snow: comical, crazy and very, very cold. Better them than us right?
Chris McMahon and Drew Riebel, both swimmers on the West Virgina Swimming and Diving team, knew there was no rest for the wicked and kicked off the bonkers behaviour last Saturday as Storm Jonas began to blanket the East Coast of the United States in a deep layer of snow.

From there, the #snowchallenge began. We're not 100% sure who started it, but it's caught on like wildfire. Very crazy and cold wildfire.
We doubt it's anything that the people who do a Christmas day swim couldn't handle (don't hold us to that, we're never attempting it).
