Hypothermia, killer of the unprepared, occurs when a person's body loses more heat than it can generate. It strikes boaters, hikers, hunters, or anyone in the outdoors. Hypothermia is most likely to occur between October and April. Warmth should be provided by clothing layers which can be removed or added to meet the needs. Annual rainfall varies from over 80 inches on the headwaters to about 50 inches on the lower end.
Rains are heavy during the winter.
Short duration thunderstorms occur frequently during the summer. Work Outdoors at GORP Jobs Click Here. All rights reserved.
