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

* The warm air temperatures this weekend in the lower 70s may cause
  people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures
  which are currently only in the upper 30s and lower 40s across
  Sebago Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee, and in the region`s smaller
  lakes and rivers.

* The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to
  anyone immersed in the water. According to the US Coast Guard,
  when the water temperatures are below 50 degrees, the chance of
  immediate incapacitation due to cold shock is extremely high.
  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!

* Breezy winds are also expected this weekend with gusts up to 25 mph
  from the southwest. If boating on large bodies of water, these
  winds can increase the likelihood of overturning your boat, canoe,
  or kayak due to increased wave heights.

* Due to 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.
