Along with the stretch of summerlike weather gracing Northeast Ohio comes a safety reminder for lake-goers. Though temperatures may reach the 80s this week, Lake Erie’s water is still cold enough to cause hypothermia within minutes.
The sunshine and warmth brought scores of Northeast Ohioans out to Edgewater Park Wednesday, some enjoying the beach and fishing pier.Morich and Eli were dipping their toes into the water at Edgewater Beach and splashing in the cool lake.
“That’s the deceiving part,” said Petty Officer Paul Dragin. “It’s almost summerlike already, prematurely. But the water temperature is still extremely cold.” He advised limiting swim time until the water warms and said even if you’re not planning to get in the lake, you should wear a personal floatation device on boats and jetskis and keep one nearby on the shore.
