...National Weather Service Cold Water Safety Message...

* The warm air temperatures this weekend in the middle to upper 60s
  may cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water
  temperatures, which are currently only in the lower 50s across
  Sebago Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee, and in the middle 50s in the
  regions smaller lakes and rivers.

* The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to anyone
  immersed in the water. According to the USCG, when the water
  temperature is below 60 degrees, the average submerged person could
  lose dexterity within minutes and be unable to accomplish simple
  tasks like buckling a life jacket or operating a radio. Anyone on
  small boats, canoes, or kayaks should plan accordingly if
  recreating this weekend and use extreme caution to avoid this
  threat. Paddle smart from the start and always wear your life
  jacket!

* Due to Spring snow-melt and recent rain, area rivers continue to
  run fast with swift water currents. The swift water can easily
  overturn a kayak or canoe into the frigid river waters. Once in the
  cold water, the strong currents will make it difficult to reach
  safety.
