Frozen Pool at the coping

[nafreire]

We just had warm weather here in Ontario, Canada followed by rain. I decided to look at the water level and the pool is frozen to the cooping. It's raining again, and tonight we are going back to a deep freeze. Do I need to do anything? This is my first year with a pool, and I'm worried that with the added rain when it freezes, the cooping will get lifted. It's a liner pool, not sure if that makes a difference.

+1 on this. Also my first winter with a pool, also in Ontario, and the weather has been wild. Lots of snow, freezing weather, followed by a warm spell and rain, soon to be followed with another 10CM of snow tonight and more freezing weather overnight. Been diligent about removing as much snow from the mesh cover after it falls, but I can't keep up with the weather. Under the safety cover it's a layer cake of water and ice, nearly up to to skimmer and I'm afraid to touch it.

Any advice from the group would be appreciated!

While things are frozen it's best to leave it alone. @nafreire, your water was probably too high from the get go not leaving room for winter precip. Usually during winter thaw PO drops the water some more and should last til spring.
