It has snowed for five days in a row here in northern Michigan. Maybe 34" and real wet and heavy stuff. Hardest plowing I've done all year.
We have an 800 foot, very steep driveway. That connects to 1 mile of private unmaintained road except for when I, or a neighbor decides to plow it. At the end of that mile-long private road is our mail-box. That is on the end of the town road that IS maintained by the town.
So - we had no mail delivery from the Post Office for two days. On the other hand - both FEDEX and UPS both showed up at my house. Both guys drove down the private road to the top of our driveway and both then walked the 800 feet down our driveway carrying packages. Got to give them credit. I guess the private sector has stricter rules about getting stuff done. I am pretty surprised at how wimpy the Postal Service has gotten.
