Quite right.
I remember back in the early 1980’s having a storm with about 18 inches of snow, then another one 2 days later with 20 inches more.
And I made it in to work both days, as did most of my co-workers (though some were late).
I’m just glad that after the punishment we received last Winter, we avoided this one completely. Not a single snowflake made it up here, to the Adirondacks.
In fact, the ground is pretty much bare, with just a bit of snow here and there. I knew buying my first snow blower would pretty much guarantee I wouldn’t see any snow this year.
48 days until Spring. But who’s counting?
I live in Northern Virginia and I got mail on Wednesday.
Then it sounds like the OP shouldn’t be complaining! 
You owe me a new keyboard. Sooo true!!!

I agree this is a complete disgrace. The USPS constantly comes to Congress whining looking for handouts, with its one marketing slogan being the above: you can alway count on the mail, no matter what. I agree, Saturday, OK we get it, its 2016, but for the mail to not be delivered by Monday is a sign that our country is indeed a doomed nation of Pussies.
Cite?
Because I believe the Postal Service has operated in the black for quite some time now, without needing any support from the government.
I live in Northern Virginia and my beef has been with drivers in my neighborhood over the past week and a half since the snow. Our area didn’t get cleared well, just a narrow single car lane twining around between parked cars. The snow they managed to clear out of the street got piled up on the sidewalks. So the sidewalks have been impassable to pedestrians and the parked cars caused wide swaths of deep snow out to the middle of the road. They never bothered to come back and finish clearing, I guess assuming that the warm temps we had this week would melt it off.
Well it hasn’t melted fast enough. The sidewalks are still unusable so I have to walk my dogs in the street. I don’t want to risk them, so of course I walk them as close to the side as possible, and when cars come I try to duck into a driveway if possible to let them pass. A lot of drivers have been speeding through, passing me by about a foot or two without even slowing down to be cautious. I’ve given more people the hand forward “stop” motion to try to get them to slow down this week than ever before in my life. Only one complied.
One asshat blew through a stop sign and passed me and the hounds going about 30. There was a lady driving an SUV going the opposite direction and fortunately she was paying attention because she stopped to let his assness go by so he wouldn’t either hit me or her. Then she pulled up to me with her window down and we commisserated a little on what a jackass he was.
I have the impression that people are more likely to slow down around other vehicles than they are pedestrians, which is really messed up!
