One of these were posted last year.
It was a windy, bitterly cold day at Lake Katherine when I happened upon various fire departments from the area practicing rescues in the frigid water. Very inopportune weather day, but the guys I talked to said with the suits, they felt toasty
The only uncomfortable part was their exposed faces. Nobody was complaining - and everybody got a turn in the water 😵😵😵

It's good they practice this when not under stress. Someday they'll have to do it for real!

No, it was only about zero with a 20mph wind... 🥵🥵🥵
