How northernhemispheristic can one get?

Oh, about this northernhemispheristic...

Around here its not uncommon to see old cars and trucks that served as postal route vehicles that have been modified extensively for winter conditions. Unfortunately the it would appear that the old "Rain nor sleet nor snow will stop the US post office from delivering" is long gone. Now its "if the sun ain't shiney you can kiss our hiney and come and get your mail yourself"

Now a days around here if the road isn't paved and maintained properly the mail doesn't show up and heaven forbid if the rout driver has to go an extra mile or two if a road is blocked or out. (Or there is a suspicious looking dog along the way)
