How do you detect an overnight snowfall?
Do you see the fluffy white on the tree branches?
Perhaps you look for a white dusting on the lawn.
Maybe you even see the contrast of a cardinal hopping across the fresh, whiteness of the snowfall.
Me?
I just look for the location of my mailbox.

Plow: 1 Mailbox: 0

“He’s dead, Jim.”
Maybe I’ll just give up and get a PO Box at the post office.

Don’t give in to the snowplow/PO Box consortium! I think that the post office pays plow drivers a finders fee for each customer who comes in to rent a box because of plow damage. A better solution is to erect a better mailbox. May I suggest an i-beam set in concrete.

It’s back up today, so is the neighbor’s. Either it was the village PW department or the Mailbox Fairy came overnight.
