My pool has been dormant and covered since Sept and with the winter thaw beginning up here in New England, does it make sense to pull the cover back and throw a bunch of liquid chlorine in it? With the pumps disconnected there is no way to circulate it, so I thinking its a waste? Any thoughts?
Adding Liquid Chlorine throughout the winter?

No, water is still very cold and worry about the LC when the temp in pool gets in the 50's
I know you already received a great reply, I want to add:
A number of years ago, I added liquid chlorine in March, per recommendation by the pool store guy.
It bleached the liner because I had no way to circulate it.
Bad advice. Glad you're not adding any in now.

Even though its early April and still not very warm in CT, I took the cover off this week. I am topping the water off and will get a bunch of bleach in the pool this week
I didn't add any and just kept it covered. It had a little bit of algae on the sides but wasn't some green cesspool. Cleared up quickly when I opened it up this week.
