Looked at it and wondered if I'm brave enough for a Christmas swim
You only live once n with the mild temps every where... just do it!!!
We could have swam had the water been warm enough yesterday, and I'm not kidding. Sitting in the sun wouldn't have been bad at all upon getting out.
Instead, I raked out some leaves, and ran the robot twice. Rain the chemistry, added bleach, water, and acid.

First Christmas I can remember that I didn't have to wear a coat! I checked on the pool and saw it has a few more inches of water than it did when I closed it. At least it was rain and not snow!
So warm I had to flip the HVAC back to Cool.
Kids in the pool and we're in the Spa.
Looking forward to some cooler weather.

Water temp was at 67 today. Air temp tomorrow is supposed to be 80 so it may warm up a touch more. My wetsuit is rated to 69, so maybe tomorrow.
On the other hand, I'm running ragged with my wife's business....this is her high-time. So I may not have enough energy left to do it <G>
Yesterday, I cleaned the pool for a party last night and got so warm I actually jumped in for a little bit! It was bracing (water temp is 68) but it felt good and it was December 25.

With more than 3 inches of rain today and tornado warnings, coupled with an air temp drop from 77 to 47, pretty much nothing except look out the window at it!

Popped the corner of the mesh cover and am draining about 7" of rainfall since closing in late October. FC was at shock level at closing and was 3.5 today. Added a gallon of liquid shock though probably not necessary.
First winter with pool, leaving it open. Just ran pressure vac to clean bottom of worms leaves etc. skimmed top, added bleach and acid after testing water, been about a month since last test and bleach added, suprised how little bleach is needed during winter. pH was up to 8 so lowered it with acid. Been clear all winter! 3 months to go then I'll put on new solar cover, looks like blue bubble wrap to me, got it on sale last fall but haven't used it yet. I'm sitting by pool now, come on summer!
Mine too, I got out some leaves and ran the Roby yesterday. Added some bleach, and running him with the fine filters today. When the big storm blew in, it put more dirt in my pool at once than I've ever seen. Perfect storm as they say. Even so with all the work, I so far prefer it open.
Finally did something for our (beginning stages) pool- telephone company moved their buried cable
