Call it an end-of-winter celebration in the Poconos. Dozens of people put on their skis or snowboards on Saturday and took part in Camelback's Annual Pond Skim.

With a cold front pushing offshore this evening, we'll turn a bit colder to close out the weekend. Breezy conditions into tonight with temperatures falling to the mid 20s to low 30s for most. #PAwx #NJwx #DEwx #MDwx

🌷 The mild, spring-like temps will continue through Thursday with highs in the 50s to low 60s in many areas and lows in the 30s to low 40s. Mainly dry until Thursday, when scattered showers are expected with a cold front. Turning cooler Friday. Enjoy! #PAwx #NJwx #DEwx #MDwx

[Vogt WeatherWatcher @VWeatherWatcher]

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.

[NWS Mount Holly @NWS_MountHolly]

🧥 Dry conditions and clear skies are expected tonight but it will feel quite cold out. Wind gusts tonight will be lower compared to Sunday night but still breezy with gusts up to 25-35 mph. Wind chills will be in the single digits for most as a result. #PAwx #NJwx #DEwx #MDwx

[Vogt WeatherWatcher @VWeatherWatcher]

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.

[Vogt WeatherWatcher @VWeatherWatcher]

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.
