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

* The warm air temperatures today in the 70s may cause people to 
  underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures which 
  are currently only in the mid 50s on the lakes.

* The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to 
  anyone immersed in the water. According to the Maine Warden 
  Service, when the water temperature is below 60 degrees, the 
  average submerged person could lose dexterity within minutes and 
  be unable to accomplish simple tasks. 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!
