Yes we still get the mail when it snows. No matter how cold it gets. The bills get delivered. LOL

I'm a Cali girl born and raised but after the military I spent too much time on the east coast. I even worked for the Postal Service just so I could use my Army time to retire early!!!
And yes, they are out in rain, sleet and snow!!!! In fact, in the 20 years I lived there, only twice did they not deliver mail!!!
I always had a lot of sick hours and vacation. I don't believe in delievering anyone else's mail in crazy weather when I know most of the people out there can't drive in the s***!!!

Yes. The whole tradition of delivering one's own mail began in the Post Office's early stages (as in 1968) when someone brought up the topic of using less effort and allowing mailmen to deliver their own mail. This greatly anger the King of the Mailmen, who was a firm believer in the current law that all mailmen are banned from delivering their own mail. Greatly disouraged, the rebellious mailman (an undersized Canadian named Wally), set out on a journey to find other men to join his army. It was difficult, but eventually he eanded up with a gigantic idiot named Collin, and older lady named Fanny, as well as their pet chicken and dog, Gregory the Fifth and Ryansthumasfigglehorn, repectively. They went to the King of the Mailmen and duct taped him to his chair and promptly grabbed all their own mail as well as that of the other postal workers. Everyone was so happy that they all joined the rebellion, pushing The King (not to be confused with Elvis) out the window of his office to his demise. Then they placed Wally as their new ruler and changed the law that allows all mailmen today to deliver their own mail.

When I lived in town my mailman wouldn't walk the 10 feet it took to get to my mailbox by my door if the sidewalk wasn't shoveled perfectly, but out in the country my mailwoman gets the mail to me everyday even in a blizzard when only the top of my mailbox is showing.

For the most part yes. Only when the snow is so bad they close the roads do they not deliver the mail.

I carried mail for 7 years up north before I transferred......yes, we do. I even walked to work (about 5-6 blocks) because I couldn't get my car out. I delivered the first-class mail on my route because all of our trucks were snowed in. (Walking to my route.)

Our mail man runs no matter what the weather is. Even if it is a Tornado Warning pending. The only time he does not run is if it is a Government holiday
