Re: Fall Closing - our plans
Poconos, just what exactly can you catch in your pool? Probably frogs or frozen "spyders"!Or, knowing you, you probably stock it with fish in the fall. Then, the fish stay frozen in a layer of ice during the winter and then when you get hungry and are snowed in up there in the North Pole, you can go and catch yourself a fish to cook for dinner! You are a nut!

He stocks it with Yuengling Lager! As long as he doesn't get a solid freeze he always has a cold one ready and waiting. Love that fishin' shack in the background

Anna,
I measure the thickness periodically just for the heck of it. I put holes in the deep and shallow ends so before the last thaw I can rig an old Jacuzzi pump to circulate under the ice. No reason to but just like to get outside and play when the sun is out and weather is just starting to warm. I like the Yuengling idea. Of course anyone outside the area has no idea what that is. I feel another pic coming.

Re: Fall Closing - our plans
Al, you are a hoot! You guys up north are kinda lucky in that your pools freeze over for the winter.. I'm in Missouri so they freeze and thaw, freeze and thaw.. or not... who knows, so we have to live with a winter cover of some sort to keep the leaves and small children out. I have not been on the forum much this year... but do remember some nice pictures you had posted on here that I looked at in the Spring of 2005 when I was looking at Solar Panels.
This year has been so dry and in the interest of saving water at spring opening I don't plan to drop the level of the pool much and will depend on skimmer covers and jet valves to keep the water level up. Wish I could just leave it all uncovered and depend on it freezing up like you Northerners!

Re: Fall Closing - our plans
Bring your pole 'cause it looks like you'll have to catch it, first. Or wrangle it away from Goobers
