Five Things You Need to Know Today: Feb. 3

"Five Things you Need to Know Today" is a Patch column that provides readers with essential, daily information at a glance. Check back later for more, and let us know what you think of the new feature in the comments section.

1. It stopped snowing, raining and sleeting. The National Weather Service is forecasting partly sunny skies today. Hopefully that dodgy yellow orb will make an appearance and melt the layer of ice now cloaking town.

2. Don’t forget, curbside trash and recycling has been pushed off one day for the rest of the week. If you’re overrun with recyclables, consider building an igloo out of orange juice cartons.

3. You can have coffee with Michelle Ciccolo this morning from 9 to 10 a.m. Why is this important? Michelle is running for Planning Board, so you might want to get to know her. Also, coffee is delicious.

4. The Conservation Committee meeting from Feb. 1 was rescheduled to tonight at 7 p.m. in room G-15, while the Appropriation Committee will be meeting in the Ellen Stone Room at the at 7:30 p.m. See the agendas for these and all public meetings today by clicking here.

5. Shameless plug. Lexington Patch has got some new tricks up our green sleeve. Our content is growing, and today you’ll see some new features, at 10 a.m., noon and 3 and 5 p.m. I won’t spoil the surprise, so check back often.
