I have a sag in my liner where several of the liner track screws have given way. We have had a super wet winter here in the NE, so the pool level is very high. It was actually very close to going behind the liner where it's sagging. Today I wanted to drain some what from the pool to prevent any water that gets behind the liner from freezing. However, with the recent cold, I found the entire surface of the pool frozen solid. I broke through in the deep end and was about to run a pump to remove water but thought that as the water went down, the ice might pull the liner down with it. So I just left it for now.... Any thoughts on what I can do in this situation? Should I simply wait for the ice to melt and then reduce the water ? or leave it alone. Thank you

Do not drain your pool. Ice moving against the liner can rip it. At this point you are caught between a rock and a hard place and can only hope for the best.
If you get a thaw and all the ice melts then lower the water. Next year check the water level before the first freeze is predicted.
