The mail comes in from Elizabethtown and the delivery truck has been delayed every day which also hurts getting the mail out to all patrons on a regular delivery schedule.

If people able to do so would clean the snow away from their boxes it would help mail delivery immensely.

One lady yesterday left him a drink and snack in her box and he was very grateful because he had not even taken time to stop and eat all day! --Janet Hutcheson Comments re article 73344 Charles Marshburn Mail Service
