Here are the top stories today in Bedford:

1. Did you lose power during the storm on Monday? Hundreds of Bedford residents lost power when heavy, wet snow brought down tree branches and power lines. Eversource officials warned to stay at least 35 feet away from downed power lines and to call 911 if you see a downed line. If a power line falls on your car, "stay in the car until emergency crews arrive," the power company added. State officials said to make sure generators are connected to home wiring by a professional, to operate generator's "at least 10 feet away from a building, with the exhaust facing away from the house." Anyone without electricity should report the outrage to the utility company once per day "until power is restored."
