DEC is advising recreationists in the Adirondacks of wet and dangerous conditions following recent mild temperatures and heavy rain. The warmer weather and extensive rain melted much of the existing snowpack, swelling waterways and making water crossings dangerous with fast and strong currents. DEC is advising visitors not to attempt stream crossings where bridges are not available. Water temperatures will be extremely cold and full or partial submersion can quickly lead to hypothermia.
