5 Things You Need to Know Today: Feb. 8

Make sure you park your car off the streets tonight, to allow snow plows to plow.

Our weekday morning column, 5 Things You Need to Know, provides you with information that can help you plan your day and give you some fodder for water cooler conversations.

1. A reminder that Milford streets need to be cleared of cars overnight to allow plows to do their jobs. The parking ban is in effect. Police have had cars that blocked plows towed in lesser storms. Move all cars off-road.

2. Did you know this blizzard has a name? The Weather Channel is calling it NEMO, leading to many jokes on Twitter and Facebook about finding it.
