Burst pipes flood houses.
Expanding water bursts pipes.
Water expands when it freezes.
The problem isn’t “frozen pipes”.
What were you getting at?
Since you are from New Jersey I could see how you would have a problem figuring that sentence out. Frozen pipes weren’t a problem in New Hampshire, where I used to live or the state where the poster I was replying to lived, because everything is insulated. Snowy roads aren’t that big of a deal in New Jersey because they have trucks with plows, sand and salt (do they still even use salt?) Austin has none of that, so frozen pipes and snowy roads are a big problem. Get it?
