Five Things You Need to Know Today, Feb. 22

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 22. Here are five things you need to know:

It’s a homemade socks kind of day: We've all been trying to avoid it, but it's been such a cold winter, we have to call in the reserves: It's time to bust out the Cosby sweaters. Expect a high in the upper 20’s, but really, today is a sub-zero day, once you factor in the wind. Layer up, folks, especially if you’re taking the kids out. Just a couple of minutes in weather like this leads to pain on exposed skin.

In case you missed it: The East Boston/Malden Youth Hockey league hosted a peewee team from the Ukraine recently as part of an exchange program. This very cool program is in its fourth year.

Remember friendship bracelets? They’re back: Malden Reads is holding event at the library today at 2:30 p.m.. Kids can make bracelets while learning about some of the themes in the community-wide reading program.

Pass the popcorn: This month’s Senior Center’s is “Salt,” the fairly well-received action thriller starring Angelina Jolie as a CIA agent gone rogue—or has she? Fun fact: The role was originally written for a man, but was rewritten for Jolie after several male actors, including Tom Cruise, backed out of the part. The show starts at 3 p.m. and a light dinner will be served.

Party like it’s still football season: Stump Trivia returns to Hugh O’Neill’s tonight at 8 p.m.. Bring some friends and prove your mettle in matters of useless information.
