Well, I thought I was getting close to ending the slam & did my reading last night with high hopes! At 3 AM storms began & it is still pouring rain. I have to walk a ways to get to the pool since our back deck has it's own set of issues-namely no steps right now. So I have not ventured out to do a reading this AM. Thoughts? I've read on here that the rain will probably not mess up the water as much as many people think, but should I get wet & go take readings today or leave it alone until it stops raining?

The rain should not affect it much. However it is important a to test as often as you can and keep FC at or slightly above SLAM level
Right, the concern isn't so much about what the rain is doing to the pool but more about keeping the FC at shock level as much as possible.
It's unclear to me if you are asking should you continue to SLAM or were you trying to perform an OCLT?
I think the main reason rain messes up pool chemistry is the fact that pool owners don't go out and maintain the pool -- for fear of getting wet, I guess ��
In other words, don't neglect the poor thing just because it's raining today.

OK, thanks. I just did a test at 12:15 PM. My FC is 10.5, CC is 0. Pool is still pretty clear, albeit full since we had about 2" of rain last night. I'm going to add appropriate amount of bleach as soon as I post this. So when should I test for CYA? I've been assuming my level has been at target of 40 since that's the amount I put in per pool math. It finally completely dissolved on Friday. TIA!
