Starting today, the postal service will not be delivering to parts of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, The Dakotas, and Nebraska.
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.",
We can see that the old postal service motto doesn't inlcude cold, but if they are willing to add it on a whim, it must be wicked cold. That should be a sign to everyone that it's a day where safety should come first and it is a better idea to stay inside, even for us who like to get out on those hills.
