For most of the United States, the winter of 2010 - 2011 has been downright AWFUL! Unless of course you're an outdoor winter sports fan...
Since just after Christmas, our family pool has been covered by 2 feet or more of ice and snow. Now as warmer spring weather comes in, we have to figure out what to do with all of that water.
For most inground pool owners, this is not a serious issue. As long as the pool was properly winterized, the ice and snow will melt and it's only a matter of pumping the excess water off of the cover.
DO NOT try to break up the accumulated ice and snow. Odds are, you will damage the cover and patio.
Be sure to drain it away from yours or your neighbor's home.
