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

* The warm air temperatures this weekend in the mid to upper 70s may
  cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water
  temperatures which are currently only in the lower 60s across
  Sebago Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee, and in the lower 60s in the
  regions smaller lakes and rivers.

* The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to
  anyone immersed in the water. 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!

* Due to 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.
