Probably the best icing event we had in a while. It's usually good picture taking at sunrise tomorrow with the trees and everything coated...

28F/ZR

Have to agree, definitely the best icing event around here in quite some time. Hoping it stays below freezing all night for some good pics in the morning. Icicles hanging from powerlines and trees though from what I can make out in the dark. Looks like a .25” icing here. Rarely do ice events actually pan out around here but this one delivered. Looking like no plain rain all frozen though no snow.

Switched over to freezing rain a few minutes ago, earlier than expected, so I just took my final measurement of 1.25" of sleet/snow, bringing our season total up to 12.4".  Disappointing we didn't get the 2.5" of snow/sleet I guesstimated and especially would've liked more snow, but that's the way it goes sometimes.  Not loving having an hour or more of ZR, which could put down 0.1" or more of ice with temps at 29F. 

As I had mentioned, I was way too pessimistic here, as we had a decent amount of heavy sleet and heavy freezing rain in the ~90 minutes after this post, so when I went out to shovel around 12:30 am, after the precip had stopped, I measured 1.6" of slop, which probably contained 0.5-0.6" of QPF (I didn't do a ratio, but saw a radar estimate in that range).  If I had to guess it was 0.5" of snow (0.05" QPF), which I saw early, plus 1.1" of 2.5:1 sleet (0.44" QPF) and 0.1" ZR for 0.59" QPF.  That's a guess, but I can absolutely tell you that this slop kicked my ass (and shoulder, lol) as it felt like a 5-6" of snow shoveling, as it took almost 2 hours.The 1.6" was also probably more, but had compacted with the alternating sleet and rain, but anyway, it brings my seasonal total up to 12.8".  Now let's get some more next week.

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). :D:P

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.

Our power is flickering. We used to have outages all the time when we lived in ChesCo, not so much up here as most of our lines are buried. Man, people are gonna be pissed if the power goes out tonight...

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. :(
