Polar plunges in Fall River, Yarmouth postponed amid freezing conditions
New Year’s Day polar plunges in Fall River and Yarmouth have been postponed because of frigid temperatures.
Fall River Mayor Jasiel F. Correia II released a statement Thursday announcing that the Jan. 1 polar plunge “has been cancelled due to the dangerous inclement weather expected for that day’’ and “will be rescheduled for a future date.’’
Yarmouth’s annual plunge, which takes place at Smuggler’s Beach and raises money for the town’s senior center, has been postponed until Jan. 21, Yarmouth Deputy Chief Steven G. Xiarhos said.
