Took cover off this morning....

That is some bad news! My water temp was up to 70 a few weeks ago. Then we had an unusual cold snap for about a week and my water temp dropped to 56! I haven't hooked up my solar mats yet because I wanted to make sure we got past all chances of a night with below freezing temps. Hopefully in a couple of days we'll hook it up and then the pool will quickly heat up. Of course, we'll also throw on the solar blanket so we won't lose at night the heat we have gained during the day. Getting eager to get in the water and not just sit on the swing on the pool deck and look at it!

Well you are a little further south than me (Northern NJ). When I woke up this morning the air temp was 34 degrees, but it got up to about 74 today. Its 5:30pm now and the pool is up to 50 degrees! That is pretty good (six degree rise) running the 80,000 BTU/Hr heatpump. Hopefully we will get it up another 5-10 degrees tomorrow.

Can't wait for those nights to stay above freezing! I'm guessing all that ice will go for sure in a day then
