So today we had several inches of snow but our lane is plowed but our mail lady stopped at the end of it took one look at it at kept going. She could've made it.  It's not like there's a lot of snow on the lane. I got mad so I called the Post Office and they are going to talk to the Delivery Supervisor and see what he can do. i'm not expecting them to do much so I doubt they'd send her back out to deliver mail to our lane. She didn't even go up so nobody on our lane got mail. I could understand if there was no mail for me but I find it hard to believe that no one on our lane had no mail. Our old mail man would've went up but not her. Needed to vent so thanks for listening.

I could understand if the lane wasn't plowed and salted but it was.  So there's like a coating of snow on it.

I guess the old saying "neither snow nor rain nor heat nor ... etc." doesn't apply any more.  Than again, maybe it never did. Wikipedia says it's never been the Postal Service's official motto.

We don't even get mail delivery on saturdays in Canada.The postal workers there are used to snow and I don't remember missing a delivery ever.

Guess she doesn't know the creed. Our old Mail man would have come up. He would also bring any packages to our door along with any mail but this one leaves packages on top of our paperbox next to the mailbox. She was too lazy to come up. I hope they make her come back out our way and deliver our mail and do her job.

They'll probably fire her on Christmas Eve.    I once worked for a company like that.............    No kidding, every year, a couple people got the axe the day before Christmas.

According to Wiki, that "neither snow, nor rain, nor gloom of night......" has NEVER been the post office's motto/creed.

@Plaid Pants2  a postal worker told me the same thing. It seems that was written on a building they used. They  didn't put it there , the prevous owner did. I don't know who the previous owner was, btw

I would be mad too. Probably the way it will be for everyone who lives on your lane all winter, if it isn't adressed now. Unless that was a sub mail lady.
