I agree - it seems like they changed their recipe since I moved here two years ago? More doughy/less dry bready.

Do not underestimate broken pipe theory, when they unfreeze is when it leaks ! So be vigilant if you leave and it leaks

Yes, be complacent. That’s what happened in 2016.

City elections are non-partisan and on top of that no matter how negative you are it would be impossible for Amy to win an election like Mayor. The voters don't care about Tom. She would lose handedly as she is so extraordinarily flawed.

Dripping has always stopped my pipes from freezing. They're not doing it right.

What do you mean, Landlord unresponsive. Call the Housing Department.

Not really sure what the story is here. It's common not to speak on matters that are wrapped up in pending litigation. 🤷♂️

in the future when it gets this cold its a good idea to let the water drip from your faucet even when youre not using it. it isnt a guarantee but it helps long enough to keep them from bursting due to freeze so they can thaw
as for your landlord. you can withhold rent until they come and fix the issue. if they want to take you to court then they wont have a case because theyre responsible for the property and it wasnt you who damaged it

Because in NJ it's all about "ME FIRST!"🙃

This used to happen to us a lot I forgot what my landlord did to fix it but as a preventative whenever it would get below freezing we would leave the water on just slightly so it wouldn’t freeze and be left with no water.

Maybe you'll get some tips here, but try asking in r/newjersey if you haven't already.
Have fun!

You neglect the low voter turnout and large-enough turnout of hardline dems for whoever the machine says is the candidate.

The "County Line" primary ballot scheme in New Jersey exists to keep people like Amy DeGise in office.
So as much as I'd like her to resign today and disappear from elected office forever, it would be a mistake to assume she'll just decide to go away on her own.

You're conflating a few thing.
Leaving it dripping will prevent ruptured pipes by not letting pressure build up.
You can however still get some ice buildup, which might result in water not running. But since water has a place to go as it expands it won't cause a rupture.
Leaving the plumbing dripping is to prevent catastrophic damage, not to keep water pressure working normally.

Hillside... in Union County? Not sure Amy DeGise spends time behind the wheel down there, so should be OK in that regard.
Or are you asking about Hilltop / aka The Island near JSQ?

There are also storms and winds that come up from The south west that pushes towards the north east Atlantic.
