CoastalWx Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I love mine,especially after work at night when it's hot. Yeah some maybe more than others, but it's a lot of work, especially in-ground ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah some maybe more than others, but it's a lot of work, especially in-ground ones.that's for sure but a labor of love and all a part of the never ending work for homeowners. Just sheetrocked today the Rec room back wall and ceiling which got water damaged from a leaky pipe.We basically rebuilt the entire lower level,converted the attached 2 car garage to a rec bar room and made a huge bedroom in the finished section. My honey do list is getting shorter. Next up pool deck and new raised vegetable garden. Then a shed. Hopefully by fall the list will be completed.

Typhoon Tip Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Thursday looks rather lousy in terms of sensible wx. Yeah maybe it gets warmer, but has the look of a damp day. Yay. Just a personal druther/preference but if given a choice I would definitely opt for mild/warm and moist of pointlessly cold. Look thing over ... though the teles are less useful and the extended operational version even more so at this time of year, I get the "feeling" that we need to get by the first week of May, then I we'll see a more profound/persistent deep layer commitment to spring/ early summer ...

Brewbeer Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Why in the world would anyone uncover a pool now, that's pretty weird. Pool companies offer discounts to those who hire them to open now. Price goes up as more people want them opened. Back when I had a pool, I would open it the weekend before memorial day, so it would be ready for memorial day weekend.

As would I for sure, but I feel like it may be one of those days that take forever to dry out under a warmer, but more humid day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah the benchmark for swimmers in the NE is memorial day. You want to be able to swim by then. I have an above ground, not that much work. My buddy has an in ground with slide, diving board, the whole nine yards. That's a lot of work. The season here is kind of short. However, if you don't need the water to be 70s and 80s. It gets use from mid may to mid to late September. If this type of weather continues folks should just keep em closed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 This is similar to one of those winter systems where the backside is warmer...so the whole thing sort of acts like a warm fropa -- although we may actually quasi warm sector on Thursday... Either way, when it clears afterward, we end up with +2C in the first week of May, with light west wind and blue bird blues overhead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 That was the most miserable experience I've ever been thru. Sleet fell for about 20 minutes. Then it mixed with rain.

Professional Lurker Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 No sleet, but little league game was a train wreck. Cold, wind-driven rain was just lovely. I can't feel my foot past my cast, about to check my toes for frostbite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's atrociously short...as little as 8 weeks some years...that's 40-44 weeks of closed pool....not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I've had my bedroom window open for like 2 weeks...even in this it's not cold in here at all...then again our apartment is HOT and I mean HOT...even during the midst of winter it was hot...had to sleep with like only one blanket at times or turn on small fan.

That's just July and august lol.We've had our above ground for like 15 years now. If you put it up yourself, it isn't very expensive at all. It's worth it IMO, unless you readily have access to someone else's pool or are content with just AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 They isn't really a warm layer to cause sleet. Profile is enough for some frozen crappy flakes with icy cores. Get them through a layer gradually warming as it nears ground, and it probably feels like sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, I just saw radar and didn't even realize there was stratified precipitation. You did see sleet. I thought you were referring to the stuff zipping in from the NE. Indeed that stuff probably refroze before it hit ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
