1. Get your spook on.

4. Late start. Yes, Bedford children and teenagers head back to school today after two days off due to Sandy, but not before they get a couple hours of sleep. Bedford schools will be operating on a two-hour delay today and there will be no AM kindergarten. For more information, including several bus stop changes, click here.

5. Bedford water station. As of 6 a.m. this morning, PSNH is reporting 1085 Bedford customers are still without power. With that in mind, the Bedford Fire Department is not only offering free spigot water but bottled water as well.

And a bonus, 6th thing ...

6. More than just Halloween. Today may be best known for candy, spooky costumes and scary movies, but did you know that today is also Juliette Gordon Low’s birthday. Low founded Girl Scouts 100 years ago and changed the world for 3.2 million American girls.
