5 Things You Need To Know Today: Feb. 28

1. Two Meetings Cancelled. The Town of Bedford had two municipal meetings scheduled today, one for the Highway Safety Committee and the other for the Conservation Commission, but both meetings have been cancelled.

2. Patch mobile. By now you know Patch is available to read online. Did you know you can get it on your iPhone, too? In addition to being able to keep up on the latest news, one thing Patch's iPhone app is excellent for is using the business directory. Get contact and other essential information for local businesses as you need it. On vacation? Check if the town you're visiting has a Patch site (we have more than 850 nation-wide) and track down a well-recommended spot to get dinner. The Patch Android app currently only gives access to the business directory. To download the apps, go to the iPhone App Store or the Android Marketplace and look up Patch Media Corporation.

3. The Weather Man Says ... With snow looming Wednesday and Thurday, today is a great day to get out and enjoy the unseasonably-warm February temperatures. According to Weather.com, mostly sunny skies are expected today, though gusty 15- to 25-mph winds put a damper on today's high of 42 degrees.
