"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from....

....their appointed rounds."

So where's my freakin mail?

 

[phylodog]

Mine wasn't delivered Monday but it was Tuesday. I've had them refuse to deliver if I don't clear out the area in front of my mailbox so they could do so as usual.

I got mail today. A couple bills and the usual junk mail. There was nothing there I would have wanted a letter carrier to have gotten frostbit over. I am just a very thankful man that we have had plenty power, heat and food to stay safe for this artic blast. I know that more than a few have had some serious weather related struggles and losses. I pray that you will come out ok.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

None yesterday, got some today but haven't been out for it. I once had a note in my mailbox saying they wouldn't deliver because the box was inaccessible (!) when the plow guys had piled the snow in front of it. I just hadn't got to it yet. Our plows travel in packs; one big one to clear the streets and a couple of small ones to make sure all the driveways are blocked.

My regular guy delivered a package to me on Monday. He is the best.

 

[Cpl. Klinger]

I don't think I've seen any mail yet here. Which stinks, because I have a package due Friday which might get held up in the backlog.

 

[eric001]

I haven't seen any mail, nor even the mail vehicle on my street, since Saturday. I am hoping that some time this week they'll get around to delivering something, even if it is a bill or junk mail.

 

[Stschil]

No mail delivered on my rural route Mon and Tue and I am more than OK with that. Our carrier is a great guy and I'm glad someone, be it our Post Master or the carrier himself, made the safe, smart decision. He delivered today.

Up this way it looked like they were using some rural route drivers to help lighten the load of city carriers because of the no delivery Monday plus the fact that the mail Jeeps suck bootyhole on snow or ice. Saw some fwd and 4wd rural route drivers on some of the lesser traveled roads (or the subdivisions that weren't full of wealthy people) because the plowing wasn't all that good. That was confirmed as what was happening per a family member that had split their route several times when we had heavy snow, 25 to 30 years as a letter carrier.

Let me rephrase that, "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from their appointed rounds. Except, perhaps, a 2' snow bank in front of the box...."

 

[Snapdragon]

No mail Saturday, Monday, or yesterday. Got a ****load today. But no trash collection today. My cans are buried under snow in the back yard, so I just set bags out at the end of the driveway. I hope they come and get them before the raccoons get to them.

 

[mrjarrell]

No mail at mi casa since last week. Nothing Mon, Tues or today. I even cleared space out by the mailbox with the snowblower.

 

[Frosty]

Hmm... Maybe the 3' deep snow around my mailbox is keeping them from delivering? Oh well, the neighbor has a tractor with a plow, he can clear it, his box is next to mine in my yard!

 

[CathyInBlue]

Despite shovelling the front walk, from porch to street down to concrete, midday Monday, I haven't seen a single article of mail appear in the mailbox all week.

 

[snapping turtle]

Mail what is this weird thing you speak of.

I don't think I have sent a letter or postcard in years. Most likely since win95 came out.

i do send packages with them. All I can shove in the box.

All I get in the mail are bills, junk mail and pre declined credit card offers. If they quit coming to my house I would not
miss them at all.

 

[flnt38]

the postmaster said today that the mail for our little P.O. was being held in indy because of the ruling to stay off the roads and they would not let the trucks leave

 

[Mgderf]

All I get in the mail are... pre declined credit card offers.

I got something in the mail a few months back with a big bold notice on the front of the envelope.

"You've been selected to apply"

It almost sounding like I didn't have a choice.
I immediately inserted it into the circular file.

 

[fastwally]

Haven't seen any mail since Saturday. Road is clear and mail box is plowed out.

 

[Cldedhnds]

First delivery of the week was today. Those Grumman golf carts must suck in these conditions.

 

[ASD]

No mail Monday or Tuesday for me. Finally came today around 4:30 and I rushed to the box expecting my LTCH to finally be there but nope just junk mail and a flyer from rural king
