Body shops and insurance companies stay busy in winter weather
SUMMARY: Auto body and insurance professionals from Mississippi provide insight into winter-driving problems and tips. During a winter storm, there is an increase in single-car accidents, slides, and fender-benders among neighbors trying to navigate the icy roads. Drivers should maintain safe tread depth on their tires, and take precautions such as using washer fluid with a defroster. The increased traffic in auto body shops and homeowners' claims due to burst water lines is expected to continue for a couple of weeks post-winter storm. Local businesses and insurance companies encourage patience throughout the aftermath.

SUMMARY: Brooksville Town Hall in Mississippi has been closed for a week due to the process of hiring new city officials. The mayor explained that the closure is necessary until the new hires are bonded and can handle money. Multiple city clerks have resigned, causing issues with citizens paying water bills. Despite new hires being bonded and told to report for work, the doors remain locked. The mayor clarified that he cannot control everything that happens at city hall. Residents can still pay water bills at a drop box, with late fees being waived. The mayor emphasized his commitment to upholding his oath to the town.
