Neither snow, nor rain...

What is it they say about the U.S. Postal Service? Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds? Apparently this does not apply to Montauk. Rick just returned from the post office empty-handed. The hamlet's had no mail delivery since Friday.

Maybe they mean snow, rain and gloom of night? In that case, we've just hit the trifecta 'cause we're on rain now.

Never thought I'd say it, but at least the snow was pretty.

This is far from scientific reasoning, but I get the sense that, blizzard or no, things slowly come to a grinding halt out here about now - even the library's given up the ghost and closed for painting - and then, come Valentine's Day, start to percolate again.

In any case, sure could use a good hot cup of coffee about now.
