May 5: Water temp rises to 50-degrees
 

First time since late October, the Lake Winnipesaukee surface water temperature has gone above 50-degrees.

To swim the cold water, recommend a $60 O'Neill Thermo black t-shirt from Parafunalia in Gilford worn under a wet suit top. The tight fitting O'Neill Thermo gets soaking wet, long sleeve or short sleeve, but still holds in your core heat pretty good.

How does it work? I don't know, but it works.
