Happy Friday, people of Birmingham! Let’s get you all caught up to start today off on an informed note, shall we? It’s mighty cold out there, and I hope everyone is driving safely on these slick roads. Be careful. Speaking of being careful, be on the look out for a new phone scam that has been circulating in the community. Basically, a scammer impersonates a police officer to try to take your money. Also in the news today, staffing shortages at the BWWB might actually affect your bill. See how below.
First, today’s weather:
Mostly sunny and chilly. High: 41 Low: 28.
