Current Record: 0-0
Prediction: I was thinking CLOSING for a couple of days now, given that it was meant to be substantial snow fall (2 or 3 inches) and would continue snowing past noon, during the morning commute. However, the predictions have been trending lower. I guarantee at LEAST a delay. They might even call a delay tonight. It’ll likely be gameday decision tomorrow morning, but I think I’m leaning on CLOSING tomorrow being more likely. Why? Timing is bad. Temperatures will be low. We should consider our staff come from all over the county. Freezing Rain is being thrown around in some forecasts. I wouldn’t be surprised if people in the valley end up thinking, “we could have gone in”, but I think the roads north of us and in the mountains will make a good case for the closing. Final Prediction: Closed Schools Tuesday, but don't turn off your alarms altogether.
Here's the background research:

MUWeather:
expect a tight gradient between very little & a half foot of snow across eastern PA & northern NJ. Areas N/W of I-81 should receive a plowable snowfall, but <1" is more likely south of Rt. 30 & east of I-83.
Snow will overspread the Lower Susquehanna Valley from southwest-to-northeast between 4-7 AM, and the initial "thump" of snow/sleet could be quite heavy for 2-3 hours between 6-9 AM. Thereafter, precipitation should gradually change over to plain rain from southeast-to-northwest up to the I-81 corridor. Temperatures will drop into the upper 20s to low 30s prior to the arrival of snow early Tuesday morning, so roadways will turn snow-packed and slippery just in time for the AM commute. Travel on area highways and interstates will be snarled and should be avoided, if possible. If you must travel tomorrow morning, do so with extreme caution!
