As More Rain Arrives, Boaters Asked To Be Attentive On NH’s Lakes And Ponds

By News Release | July 14, 2023

NHSP Marine Patrol on Lake Sunapee

The New Hampshire Department of Safety (NHDOS) and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) are continuing to closely monitor water levels across the state.

Due to the extensive recent rainfall received, and expected to continue throughout the weekend, New Hampshire State Police Marine Patrol will continue to monitor the conditions on waterways across the state.

Additional patrols are present to encourage boaters to operate safely.

Marine Patrol urges all boaters to be mindful of their wake and the potential impacts on the shoreline, docks, and wildlife.

Boaters should utilize extra caution when operating in channels or close to shore and stay aware of the potential for floating debris and navigational hazards now underwater that are normally visible.

Additionally, NHDES has advised the agency is continuing to do everything it can to lower water levels by increasing discharge from State-owned dams, while also protecting residents and infrastructure downstream.

The Double French Invasion

Speaking of WordsBy MICHAEL FERBER A few years ago my wife and I flew on Icelandair to Europe. On one of the doors in the airplane was the word Neytharutgangur. I could figure out the utgangur part: it would be outgang in English if we had not adopted the Latin word exit. In fact in some dialects outgang was an English word until the early twentieth century. A little later, in Amsterdam, we saw signs saying Nooduitgang, and then in Berlin we saw Notausgang. It finally dawned on me that Neythar, Nood, and Not are akin to English “need.” So why don’t we say Needoutgang, like our three Germanic cousins, instead of “Emergency Exit”? It’s because of the French.
