While Skippy and I snuck out of town overnight, our son zipped in from Atlanta and cut back some of the trees still sitting on our cover. He was able to open the cover about a foot & send me a pic of clear water! Nine months closed and yet still clear. That's a win!! 
Now if only The Masters would be over so the tree cutters can come remove these beasts!
