If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building.
* People may underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures
today which are currently only in the lower 60s across Sebago Lake
and Lake Winnipesaukee, and colder across other lakes and rivers.
* The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to
anyone immersed in the water. When the water temperature is below
60 degrees, the average submerged person could loose 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!
