We're on our second mailbox of the season. We wised up and bought one that "breaks away" when the doofus driving the snowplow wings it with his side mirror. (The county is reimbursing us for the first box & post. No need to shoot 'em, LOL!)

No offense to snow plowers out there. I'm sure a destroyed mailbox or two is not as annoying as working 20 hour days making $75+ an hour, but still. ;)

4-8 more inches coming our way starting Sunday afternoon. *SPIT*

[Not now, Not ever!]

I would be tempted to super glue my box to the top of a huge but appropriately shaped rock.

we havent had the snow you all have had this year, but
i sure am glad our mailbox is attached to the house and
fortunate to have my own personal plow guy. ;)

How can that be? Global warming and all.

i don’t have a problem with my mailbox, which is attached to my house, but i have a problem that all the snow gets pushed to my side of the street, which means a good portion of it ends up at the end of my driveway.
very frustrating to get an extra couple feet of snow and ice at the end of my driveway making a snowy/ icy barrier.

I have a very good friend who suffered mailbox destruction from Friday night vandals. They ride around whomping mailboxes for fun.

They got his several times and he made a new one.

He got a mailbox length of 10” or 12” diameter schedule 80 pipe having a wall thickness of at least a quarter inch. He welded similar steel on the end and ptovided a thick hemispherical hinged cap for the front. The box was attached to a smaller, but substantial schedule 80 pipe and embedded several feet in the ground with concrete.

It is painted flat black and is actually nice looking.

It has been whacked but withstood the blow
