I am not sure if this belongs here but I don't kno where else to put it.

I was just reading in US News and World Reports in a Section called News
You Can Use about hypothermia.  It says it can occur in water less then 
70 degrees.  That seems a little high to me I think it should be more
around less then 50 degrees.  (I know that if it is less then 50 it is
less then 70 so lets not get into that discussion)  Can anyone tell me
if US News is correct or incorrect and if they are incorrect what is the
higher bound for the temperature?
