3) Warm & windy!

According to the National Weather Service's pinpointed forecast for Woburn, it's going to be a warm wintry day today. Expect temperatures to be close to 50 degrees. But we'll also have wind, about 5 to 10 miles per hour, with some gusts up to 20 miles per hour.

4) In case you missed it

At Patch, we like to take a look at how communities compare in different ways. Yesterday, we took a look at several tax rates throughout the area. See how Woburn figured into the mix here. 

5) Historic Headline

Let's take a walk through Woburn's history, shall we? A headline in the newspaper regarding Jan. 7 events in Woburn was:

• 1939—Woburn May Vote To Close Schools—The Woburn School Board was scheduled to meet to discuss closing the public schools for three months due to a $45,000 deficit in funding.
