Due to the severe winter weather conditions, the U.S. Postal Service has announced postal delivery Wednesday will be suspended in Minnesota, Iowa, western Wisconsin and western Illinois.
Temperatures in the Twin Cities were expected to drop to near -30 degrees Tuesday and Wednesday and a wind chill warning was in effect.
A release from the USPS said retail operations at local offices will be available, but may be limited.
There will be no collection mail pickup from businesses or collection boxes. There will also be no residential or commercial package pickup services.
High tomorrow predicted at -16.
I wouldn't want to be riding around in one of those blue and white go-karts tomorrow.
Good idea...
My cousin in Toledo has had her mail put on hold until Monday. One less place the postman has to stop, was her thinking. Pretty considerate, I say. And how much of any importance really shows up in the mailbox any more?
Yeah. I don’t want anyone to die bringing me bills.
Locally, there have been some power outages.
Blankets won’t save you with temperatures like this.
Pity my ex-wife in Des Moines.
Smart cousin.
“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” - oh, never mind...
“Neither rain, nor snow ...”
Those were the days.
Is she OK?
Can’t say I blame them.
This one is a killer.
>>Yeah. I don’t want anyone to die bringing me bills.

Nope.
We don’t converse.
My grandmother told me about cold spells like this one. Now because of global warming we get to experience them again! /s
I hope that she is well.
It is going to be brutal in that area for the next few days.
Don’t they take an oath.....?
Sarcasm noted.
