Think of your mail carrier when it snows...

We had a rather spirited debate on one of my other blogs related to people not shoveling their sidewalks and how that created unsafe conditions for children walking to school. It also creates problems for our mail carriers, many of whom have walking routes delivering on foot to Residential Mailboxes and in some parts of the city to Commercial Mailboxes.

This conversation also led me to think about the different styles of mail boxes when a friend told me her's was frozen shut. If yours is in a location where water can drip down and then freeze, perhaps considering buying one with a bit more of a protective overhang should be something you consider. If it's frozen shut, it's more of a struggle for mail to not only be received but delivered. Considering the over 2,500 different types Mailboxixchange has, you should be not only able to find a design you love, but also one that works for all seasons...
