Do you ever have to do anything to keep it algae-free? The reflection with the trees is amazing. It wouldn't look that way if it had algae.

Yes, we did have flooding, and the major highway to NYC is closed down for that reason. I saw a video on the Facebook page of nj.com (the only page they let you go on without a subscription) and it was right by the exit to my house! Water was up to the halfway point on the concrete median separating east from west, and in one spot they showed, it was at the top.

Nope, didn't get a chance to try out the new weedwacker but the cool air rushed in after the storm and I was out there pulling weeds. Filled up an entire plastic tub of them!
