...National Weather Service Cold Water Safety Message...
...Please check with state and local authorities regarding
guidelines for allowed activities...
* The warm air temperatures in the lower 80s today may cause people
to underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures which
are currently only in the lower 30s across Lake Champlain, and in
the lower 30s 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!
* Strong winds are also expected today with gusts up to 25 mph from
the south. If boating on large bodies of water, these strong winds
can increase the likelihood of overturning your boat, canoe or
kayak due to increased wave heights.
