Neal Sailer provided some recent ice conditions from the Poconos region.

We went climbing Sunday, January 17, 2016, first to Raymondskill Falls, which was just flowing water — lots of water. Nothing in at all.

Then we headed to Slateford Falls where in the past huge crowds of guided lessons fill the climbs — we found an empty lot and ice again not yet developed. We did manage to climb (top rope) a side wall with a “good” icicle closest to the trail and a water pool and with some dry tooling/pointing. This feature presented some interesting moves, hooking, lie backs and sometimes bear hugging a shaky ice column with tools dangling (still ice climbing, right?). We were soaked, muddy but happy enough to go three times each on the same problem.

Still need a long cold snap...
