Wonder if we will get mail today

[rgG]

Haven't had mail since Monday. I wonder if the mail truck will show up today.

I was supposed to get a shipment from Amazon on Tuesday. It was one of those where they hand it off to the post office for the final leg. They sent an email saying that the PO had tried to deliver it at 2:28 but could not leave it and left me a note. Well, that did not happen. No mail truck at all that day, and no note. I was home all day and looking out the window most of the time. I guess there wasn't a box to check for " weather too bad and we gave up."

Also haven't gotten a newspaper yesterday or today, but we can get the online edition of that.

The P.O. is going to be seriously backed up, if they don't get out today.

It is supposed to get above freezing this afternoon, but our road is still pretty much a solid sheet of ice.

I was out snow blowing Saturday in the middle of a white our howling storm. And our grizzled elderly mailman pulled up to the mailbox RIGHT on time. It was amazing. I trudged over in the snow.. he was all bundled up and had opened his door.

I said "Wow.. you take that whole neither rain or snow thing seriously !"

He rasped "I'm no GD poet, but I take the job seriously". We smiled, I thanked him, and he drove to the next house.

We've not had mail or newspaper either. In fact, there's been absolutely no traffic on our road that I've seen this morning.

My daughter in Birmingham is going to work today at noon. She's right off 280 and says folks are driving the regular speed. I asked her to walk down her hill to the make sure it's clear as it comes to 280 and she says it's fine.

A winter storm that would probably be no big deal in the North all but paralyzed the Deep South on Tuesday, bringing snow, ice and teeth-chattering cold, with temperatures in the teens in some places.

The boxy postal delivery vehicles around here always have bald tires. Glad they haven't tried to come out this way.

Forecast seems for colder weather than previously thought, at least according to Yahoo! it won't reach above freezing in most parts.

Looks like my street. Still.

Then again, the next street over was mostly clear yesterday.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds

Really, it's the first one. You'd think the USPS could handle a little snow.
