Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat...
Herodotus:
Apparently, the USPS does not deliver mail if there's any snow around your mailbox as I discovered yesterday when the postman never rang once... just drove on past our door. Apparently, around a foot and a half of plowed snow at the curb was enough to deter his rounds.
Neithersnow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

That creed means snow falling not snow piled up. Your mailman is not going to take the risk of getting injured just to deliver your mail. The creed should say neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift compleation of their appointed rounds.......unless the afore mentioned elements can cause an injury.

Ha!! We have days when our mailman doesn't deliver the mail and there is no snow, nor rain...yada, yada. Just no damn personnel to deliver the mail is my guess. I run a home based business so this really ticks me off. The nerve of them raising the cost of a postage stamp!! I'm going to do like everyone else and just use email. If they want to keep my mail, then they can just pay my damn bills.
