Upstairs, I'm not yet sure if plumbing repairs are needed (if pipes did freeze, its likely) I'm coming back through with a plumber in the next few days to fully assess the plumbing damage.

has anyone else experienced problems with their iPad freezing while on the forums?

It's freezing in Chicago!

Is there any chance of freezing if it is winterized?  

I've kept a 5 gallon bucket by the door now and then, but usually it gets over used, and that crap gets tracked into the building.I have a service for removing snow and plowing, but I'm talking about the occasional light snowfall or freezing rain when the service isn't needed, and a couple minutes of my time to throw some salt is all that's needed.I bring this up because of a text I received today about ice at the entrance of one of my 4plexes.

First, when they run properly, there tends to be a lot less water overflowing the gutters and down to the dirt around the foundation (important in climates that freeze to protect basements).  

Hiring freezes and fat cutting of the lower level(low paid) support staff and production staff(if production is reduced).
