Joe, you've gotten good advice from 3/4 of the moderators (Watermom didn't 'chime in') - listen to it! If you closed the pool, as advocateded here, which you said you did, you shouldn't have any problems. I do want to point out that ~10" of snow = 1" of water, so don't drain too much water out of your pool (you've got a mesh cover, so try to keep it out of the pool water.) If you want to drain some, you can use calcium flakes (~77%) to melt a hole in the ice into which you could put a 'sump pump' to drain some of the water out of the pool, but I doubt it's needed, perhaps there are some pools that need constant attention over the winter, but I doubt that yours needs that sort of scrutiny.

We've met before, and I'd hope you would trust me, but I think your pool will be fine come spring.
You are right to trust the good folks here, and I hope you continiue to do so!
