STROUD TOWNSHIP -- The recent cold weather set the stage for some ice skating in Monroe County.
Newswatch 16 found skaters taking laps at the outdoor rink at Jay Albertson Park near Stroudsburg.
The East Stroudsburg University hockey team took the opportunity to get in a practice on the outdoor ice.
"It's fun we just get all the guys out. It's three v three hockey, you know you just can't go wrong," said ESU hockey player Joshua Seder.
The ice on the duck pond is thick enough for everyone to skate, at least for the near future.
