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

* The warm air temperatures this weekend in the low to mid 80s may
cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water
temperatures which are currently only around 60 on the lakes and
around 70 on the rivers.

* The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to
anyone immersed in the water. According to the Maine Warden
Service, even when the water temperature is below 70 degrees,
hypothermia and loss of dexterity can occur in 45 minutes or
less. 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!
