Neither Snow Nor Rain Nor He… wait, HOW much snow?

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” is an inscription on the James Farley Post Office in New York City.

Well, apparently snow CAN “stay these couriers”, since the Global Warming blizzard Barry Obama referred to as “Snowmageddon” buried the mid-Atlantic region in several feet of snow, killing power to many tens of thousands of homes throughout the BosNYWash corridor. It was such a storm that the Post Office suspended delivery in the DC area.

Postal delivery was suspended Saturday for Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., Southern Maryland, and Suburban Maryland.

Patrick Murphy, spokesperson for the Postal Service for Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C., made the announcement early Saturday morning as a blizzard continued to batter the Mid-Atlantic region.

Could be worse, I suppose. Al Gore could have visited and frozen the Potomac solid.
