The Mantra / creed of the postal service is something along the lines of my title above. I forget the full thing but it is to do with getting mail to residents of the USA.
The mail still had not ran for us by the time I checked at 7 pm. I was wondering about it but a family member asked me to check online and see if I could get any kind of indication on whether or not the mail WOULD run.
I went to the postal service website and this is what I found :
One of the main distributing plants in my State is closed, and thus so is the postal delivery for my area.
We have no lid on our box so it was imperative that we check to see if we would get it at all.
USPS Service Alerts provide information to consumers, small businesses and business mailers about postal facility service disruptions due to weather-related and other natural disasters or events. Residential customers and small businesses can use this webs

Yeah. The way they wrote it out was a bit confusing but essentially the winter storm means no mail delivery. I can understand and appreciate that.

There was a time when my friend worked for the post office that all the postal workers would whine if they had one more house than another person had.

I guess things were paid out differently for them back then. Now it seems no one wants to work for the postal service because the pay does not meet the work.

I guess for every rule their is an exception. I suspect they closed for the safety of the workers, or perhaps something happened at the distribution office. It would be weird if you saw a UPS truck.
