Morning, neighbors! It's me again, your host of the Five Towns Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and cold. High: 28 Low: 23.

Here are the top three stories today in Five Towns:

  1. Village of Valley Stream trustees will weigh public opinion on a new apartment complex plan. A public hearing will be held on Feb. 28 to discuss a zone change to allow a high-density, multi-family apartment complex at the southeast corner of South Corona and West Jamaica avenues. (LI Herald)

  2. Monster Jam is coming to UBS Arena. From Feb. 4 to 6 the Islanders' ice will be covered by a giant racetrack and obstacle course and 100 truckloads of dirt. (Patch)

  3. A new senior living center in Woodmere, Esplanade of Woodmere, had a grand opening this week at 130 Irving Place. The facility specializes in memory care services. (LI Herald)

Today in Five Towns:

From my notebook:

  • Nassau County Police Department shared a picture of a suspect wanted for a Uniondale homicide. Have you seen him? (Facebook)

  • Hewlett-Woodmere Public Schools shares their COVID-19 test kit distribution schedule on Monday, Wednesday and Friday next week, depending on student last name. (Facebook)

  • Joseph from Nextdoor's Community Team, Nextdoor New York: "Are your exhaust vents clear of snow? Neighbors, remember to keep your furnace vents, water heater vents, air intake vents and chimney snow free this winter. Blocked vents can cause carbon monoxide to build up in your home." (Nextdoor)
