I live in Chicago area and am in a similar situation but I have been running the heater and just making the water warm enough to use. My pool is alot smaller than yours though so heats alot faster.
This weather stinks

Pool temp here 85 after a day of rain and two cool nights. Feel free to beat me now! Fathers Day weekend looking fantastic (just like I ordered).
Storming here too! Kids STILL have not gotten in the new pool yet. It's been thunder storming every single day, in the afternoon. Obviously, not worth the risk. Ugh.
BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND ahead. Will be a great Fathers Day Weekend. Whole family is excited. Going to move our pumps, so we'll have a nice place to cool down when done.

In my signature is solar panels. Maybe this cold weather will get us motivated to install them! They've been in the box for a couple of summers.
All this rain down in Florida has stalled my build completely! PB is completely backed up on all his jobs. Supposed to be swimming by now and if I'm lucky, kids will get a few weeks of swimming before heading back to school. I am NOT happy about it one bit! :grrrr:
So sorry jro! That is so disheartening.
I've got to drain the pool again as it's up over the skimmer, check the CYA and add more tomorrow! I will have drained 6" in 3 days!

I drained some last week as well...water got up to 80 today..enjoyed a nice swim with my princess. 
We have a couple of great days (while I was actually off work) and today it looked to me like the pool temp was approaching 88. That is approaching the "too warm" threshold for me. I'll be out of town for work this week so I'm sure the weather will be absolutely beautiful here
If that is the case, I'll need to perfect my pool chiller.

It's going up to 84 degrees with outrageous humidity tomorrow and Monday linda! No excuses on not enjoying that pool because hubby and I will be in ours! We were suppose to have the baby and she's not coming so we'll be pool rats all day!
We are having a family get together tomorrow for my husband's birthday. I think I'll splurge and turn the heater on. The pool water is 72 so it would take a week of mid 80's to get the water warm. My 7 year old granddaughter took swimming lessons this spring and she can't wait to show everyone how she can swim! I can't believe we haven't been in the pool yet this season.
Happy Birthday to your husband! It should be a beautiful day for a party!
I bet your little fish is so excited to get in the pool and show off her new skills!
We have been in the pool weekly since the end of May. 72 is actually pretty dang nice. Er... maybe I'm just getting used to it!

The kids don't mind the cooler water, but they need an adult in with them. I have arthritis in so many of my joints that I hurt for hours if I go in the cold water. It sucks to get old!
I hear you linda! Having the water warmer certainly helps! And although it sucks getting old, if you don't do it ya die trying.

Turn on that heater. Have a great birthday for your husband/father's day. And let the kids have fun! We are looking forward to a day with sun in the 80's tomorrow! Happy Father's day to all the dad's out there!

It's going to be a beautiful day jimmerz! Can't wait to get out of work tonight, go home, take a little nap and go swim!
Our weather has been nothing but rain. All I can say is that if this were snow we'd probably have 100 feet! We've been trying to fix our pool since the first of May. We get a few steps and then it rains. We finally got it all put back together on Friday but it was dark by the time we gave up. We weren't going to try to tackle a liner install in the cold and dark!
So now my "pool" is sitting in 6 inches of water with no liner. All I can say is the rain has done a nice job tamping down the sand and showing us where the high and low spots are (we did pretty good for working in the dark). I'm jealous of the Arizona and Texas pool owners who get to enjoy their pools!
I hope everyone who has Father's Day plans can get out and enjoy!

I can't remember the last time it rained. It's been like this or warmer for months.
Been cold and rainy here for last few days again, pool is down to under 70 now. No sun, so solar heater not really doing much.

That's got to get old too. No rain for months... not good!
