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

* The warm air temperatures this weekend in the mid to upper 60s may
  cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water
  temperatures which are currently only in the lower 40s across
  Sebago Lake, Lake Winnipesaukee and in the regions 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!
