MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – The Myrtle Beach Polar Plunge is making changes due to the weather.
All live events for the Myrtle Beach Polar Plunge at the Sands Ocean Club Resort have been canceled for Saturday.
This comes as a developing storm system is expected to bring an increasing risk of significant snow to the Grand Strand and Pee Dee this weekend, along with record cold and dangerous wind chills.
