First Real Snow

It snowed today.  Like, a lot.  I would say it snowed a foot, but I have no sense of measurement, so it could very well be only about 3 inches of snow.  But regardless, there is enough snow on the ground to cover the grass and prompt my neighbors to pull out the snow blowers (which are for wusses, by the way, especially if we are talking about just a few inches of snow, but I digress).

Since I spent the majority of the day on my couch, I decided to venture out and shovel the porch and sidewalk.  When I walked out my front door I noticed some very distinct footprints in the snow.  Footprints that look somewhat like the ones in the photo in the header of this blog.  Big, moon-boot like footprints very close to my house.  Footprints that could be from one person and one person only... my mail carrier.

The below is an actual letter I wrote to the Postmaster.  I never did receive a response, but I hope to soon.  Enjoy!

Dear Postmaster,

It recently came to my attention that my mail carrier can refuse to deliver my mail if my walkway and/or porch are not cleared of snow and/or ice.  While I understand and appreciate your attempt to provide a safe workplace for those field postal workers, I cannot for the life of me understand WHY my mail carrier did not deliver my mail for 2 entire days until I shoveled my walkway and porch and then after dropping off my mail WALKED ACROSS MY SNOW COVERED LAWN TO THE NEIGHBORS HOUSE.

No, this is not a joke.  This is fact.  I have pictures of to prove it.  I actually watched my mail carrier trudge through 6+ inches of snow covered lawn.  All I can say is WTF.

WTF?
