Postmasters who do not consider road conditions pose a real danger to carriers and public alike.

I am an ex postal worker. I did clear the area in front of my own mail box, despite the townships efforts to make sure it remained blocked by plowed snow. I did NOT receive any incoming mail on the major snowfall day, being a Saturday, even though I had outgoing mail with the flag up and my sister who lives down the block did get her mail.
I'm all about safety, but I think the USPS needs to reorganize it's business model and clean out all the inadequate management AND workforce, in order to actually qualify for "help" from the US poulation in accomplishing it's goals.

I live in DC - we've had no mail delivery since Friday, February 5, 2010. I don't expect any mail today either since our street is not plowed - the mail person wouldn't think to park her car on 14th Street and then carry the mail down the side street...if she can't park the car in front of the building - driving between locations she gets out of the car and yells at cars park in the NO PARKING BUILDING ENTRANCE - advising that she need to violate the law so that she can deliver tha mail. I think the Postal Service should be totally privatized....including their VERY generous tax-payer provided benefits....with tonights predicted snowfall - I predict that my street will be without mail delivery for one week - unacceptable - oh and yes, the sidewalks on my street (both sides) have been clear since Sunday, February 7, 2010...we cleared the way and she never showed...big surprise!!!!

Most people are very good when it comes to snow removal in front of there homes.They really try to do the best they come to give you a safe approach to there mail box.But then there are the wisenhimers who would tell you that God put it there and God will take it away.I would tell them that God told me not to deliver there mail because it was to dangerous and he did not want me to hurt myself.

The U.S. Postal Service does not have "VERY generous tax-payer provided benefits." Unlike USDA, the USPS gets NO taxpayer money. It runs off revenues provided by stamps and other services. Get your facts straight.

Times have changed since that motto" Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night". Today with the internet is it really necessary to put people in danger of injury or accidents on our roads. During our storm in NC this year we all saw a mail tractor trailer hanging off a bridge and another mail truck had another accident on the same road. IS the mail really that important today?
In my opinion it is stupid to ask people to clear the snow away from their mailboxes after a snow plow has past by. That would give a young man a heart attack. Does the post office really have that many stupid people in management.
