The forecast is for a significant snow accumulation with some freezing rain. The low temperatures and anticipated wintry mix are expected to make the roads very slippery throughout this winter storm. If you must travel please take along the recommended safety gear and allow extra time to navigate the expected icy roads. The Jenkintown Police Department and Public Works Department will be staffed throughout the entire storm and are prepared to respond accordingly. Read More »
