I think it was progged to start getting windy later today too so if you still have frozen branches (and the temps have been really slow to rise), I can imagine lots of snapped branches.

Seems everything on the 6z GFS is either southern-sliding, apps-running or lakes-cutting. Temp here continues to rise and am currently at 33 with dp 32. Dripping has been really slow however. -
I was looking at your chart and was wondering why that last entry of Easton Rd & W. Moreland Ave. (which is an intersection for the Willow Grove Mall, the mall actually being in Willow Grove) is listed by Horsham vs Abington (where Willow Grove is in Abington Twp vs Horsham Twp, the latter being down the road a piece). Checked the accretion early this morning from some branches and had 0.2". This would be on top of the earlier 0.25" of sleet. Temp is slowly rising and am now overcast and at 32 now, with dp 31. The earlier freezing fog/mist has been lifting. The low of 29 today so far, was at midnight.

Temp here is down to 29 (dp 26) and have finally been getting a mix - mostly rain but finally got sleet alternating in enough to deposit a 0.25" coating at post time. Accretion is building with the rain in any event. Bucket at 0.05" at post time.
-
Started at 32 and rain and now am at 30 and light rain = ZR. Didn't get any ip or snow preceding or during. The dp did shoot up from 18 to 25.

I have noticed the LR models DO tend to "sniff out" something (whether it pans out "positive" or not), but then it all gets muddled and garbled in the midrange. Looks like the 18z GFS has the Wed. storm do a slide to the south and the Friday one is a thump to rain. As an obs, it's currently overcast and 33 with dp 14. -

Am looking out the window right now to the east and see your namesake in all its glory! Made it up to 44 yesterday and am currently at my low of 26 for today with dp 12. Some stuff outta the 6z GFS at the end of the run. -
Then the Vermeil years would be but a twinkle!

Looks like this system is pretty much out of here. I ended up with 0.1" of ice accretion but found that out back on colder grassy areas (back faces NE), there was about 0.2" IP (sleet) that had fallen overnight. None of that was out front, which was heavily treated and faces SW, or even on my patio, but was away from the house and in open areas nearby. Currently a misty 34, with some fog/low stratus, and a dp 34. Bucket tips resulted in 0.08" liquid, as anything that had accumulated in there and froze, has melted.
-
Still getting ZR (moderate) and although I am registering 0.05" in the bucket, I expect the tipper might be frozen. Temp is 31 with dp 30 (earlier fog/low stratus appears to have dissipated).
-
Currently 30 here with dp 28, and not seeing any snow or getting any pingers but ZR. Getting a coating of ice on car, trees, and untreated surfaces.

I remember watching chasers in Lake Charles back in 2020 when Hurricane Laura blasted through (and eventually obliterated their NEXRAD and it took 5 months to get it back up and operational again) - https://www.weather.gov/news/012221-lake-charles-radar
