Five Things: Keno Anyone?

1) Snowpocalypse now. Today will be partly cloudy, with a high of 23. Tonight will be mostly cloudy, with a low of 18. No snow yet, but heavy snow is expected on Friday, with the possibility of blizzard conditions.

2) Deliberative session in doubt. The School Deliberative Session is scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m. at Londonderry High School, but there's a good chance that the storm could wind up postponing it. School officials say they are monitoring the storm and will make a decision no later than noon on Friday.

3) Keno! The House Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to hear a bill this morning backed by Rep. Al Baldasaro, R-Londonderry, that would allow, under Lottery Commission oversight, the operation and playing of keno games. The hearing is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. in LOB Room 202.

4) Who's running? The filing period for town and school offices closed on Friday. If you missed it, here's our rundown of who filed for the various openings. Town Meeting Day is Tuesday, March 12.

5) On this day in 1964, Pan Am Yankee Clipper flight 101 from London Heathrow landed at New York's Kennedy Airport – and "Beatlemania" arrived. It was the first visit to the United States by the Beatles, a British rock-and-roll quartet that had just scored its first No. 1 U.S. hit six days before with "I Want to Hold Your Hand." At Kennedy, the "Fab Four" – dressed in mod suits and sporting their trademark pudding bowl haircuts – were greeted by 3,000 screaming fans who caused a near riot when the boys stepped off their plane and onto American soil.
