Notice on USPS site. Whatever happened to the post office saying from my youth? Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds
Major winter storm impacting delivery
Heavy snow, freezing rain, icy conditions, and severe weather events in the Central Plains through the Mid-Atlantic (Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington D.C., and New Jersey) may impact the processing, transportation, and delivery of mail and packages. Please allow additional time for final delivery of your item.
That’s not an official motto, rather an inscription on a post office in New York,
That phrase, "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds," is not an official motto of the USPS but a famous inscription found on the James A. Farley Post Office Building in New York City.
