Yes, the extremely cold temperatures have us longing for an early spring. The frosty weather will be less than ideal for Saturday's Polar Plunge that is being held at Sand Point Beach. The annual event will begin at noon and draw hundreds of brave souls jumping into Prior Lake to raise money for Special Olympics. It's just one event the Prior Lake News Compass will be covering for next week's edition. Share this edition with friends and family. Encourage them to sign up for future editions by using the link below to receive local news and information on a regular basis.
