Looks like we had some delays regionally as a result of snow showers passing through the area. Snow has concluded, so I am not anticipating further delays to occur. Only Pocono Mountain in Monroe County delayed for tomorrow; regionally, elevated schools such as DV have delayed.

FINAL Prediction for Tuesday, February 18, 2025.

Cold wind chills, combined with isolated black ice and spotty power outages, may be enough to cause school delays.

So far only Pocono Mountain has delayed, which is actually a bad sign for the other Monroe County districts if you are rooting for delays tomorrow. This could very well be a situation where only Pocono Mountain delays for tomorrow.

FINAL Prediction for Thursday, February 13, 2025.

Icy precipitation is expected from now into tomorrow morning, with some areas getting above freezing much faster and sooner than others. Therefore, a mixed bag of reactions is very well possibly.

FINAL Prediction for Friday, January 17, 2025.

Light snow (0.5 inches) has occurred throughout the region. Considering current road conditions, the forecast, and active plowing efforts, I do think Regular Days are likely, with Delays in select locations.

First Prediction for Monday, January 6, 2025.

A winter storm passing just south of the region will likely result in very little snowfall.

There’s black ice, it’s slippery, and some roads are untreated. Take your time if out traveling especially if you are using backroads.

First snow of the season in the Poconos. Pretty,but a very heavy snow. I am hoping the trees don’t snap on the barn.

Vibrant autumn leaves reflecting in the tranquil waters of Mauch Chunk lake create a serene landscape. Fluffy white clouds dot the sky, adding to the picturesque Pocono Mountain scene set against a backdrop of a distant forest-covered hill. #poconomountains

In February 1971, I drove back from Houston to Mount Pocono PA.
Immediately, I got a job as the news director for WVPO Radio in Stroudsburg, PA, a college town south of Mount Pocono.
WVPO offered a blend of local news and popular music.
I oversaw all news broadcasting and had two employees.
