    Sleet, freezing rain, and the possibility of several inches of the white stuff tonight in Northeast PA. Bah !!
    Just added some bleach and dissolved cal hypo to the pool. Slight tinge of algae forming. Water temp 45F. So much for the BS that algae doesn't grow under 50.

    Mine was up to about 80 last week. After the latest cold front, with night time temperatures as low as the high 30s, it was down to 66. Damn this global warming.

    Hey y'all:

    We had been up consistently in the 80's, even a few day's in the 90's; but over night temps still going in to the 40's. Added bleach & turned on filter for several hours as water temp up to 62. Actually considered opening. However, we had a extended cold spell over the Easter weekend, so water temps are WAY TOO low now to even considered opening. This is the time of year when I also start debating adding a heater, but so far we have not. Oh well, maybe next year.

    Hi everybody, can't wait to open the old pool up! Opening day for me is May 11. Just want to say hello to everyone - hope your winter wasn't too bad. I'm so glad to be back on the pool forum ready for another swim season!
