2. Watch Out For Black Ice: The National Weather Service warns that temps got into the 20s overnight, meaning that slushy stuff on our roads and sidewalks will be ice this morning. Take care out there!

3. Interviews for Council on Aging Director: On the agenda for the Board of Selectmen's meeting Thursday at 5 p.m. at Abbot Hall are interviews for the new director of the Council on Aging. Jemma Lambert and Teri McDonough are scheduled to be interviewed.

4. Spring!: Today is the vernal equinox 2013, which marks the official start of spring. So forget about all this snow and start thinking about sunshine. Spring has officially sprung.

5. Are You Running in the Marathon?: Speaking of it being spring, that means the Boston Marathon isn't far away. Yesterday we posted an item about Marblehead's Shalane Flanagan, an Olympic medalist in cross country, running her first Marathon. If you are running this year, contact us at marblehead@patch.com. We'd love to tell the town about why you're running and what charity you're supporting.
