Brr! 7 cold stares from people who took the Polar Plunge in Dallas

Sunday in Dallas was cold -- way too cold, in fact, to take a swim in icy waters. But at the fourth annual Hypnotic Donuts Polar Plunge, dozens people hopped right in as if the water was fine.

Others "froze their donuts off," the explanation organizers gave before the event took place. In all, brave 45 swimmers took the polar plunge.

Take a look at 7 really cold Dallas folks after they hopped in.

The common refrain was 'ohmygawdthatscold.'
