Stupid plow knocked over my mailbox again...good thing we put it in a bucket filled with cement....you can't dig a hole to put it back up in this weather. Hubby had an ingenious idea, put it in a bucket and fill it with cement, and let the plow man have his day....it is banged up but I can just stand it back up, over and over and over....grrrr. Why does he just hit mine?

Bob, this may miss you, depends on the track I guess. Look over the Great Lakes, the leading edge probably is starting to hit MI right now...we are in the Eye of the storm. It is light, fluffy snow, but the projected time for it to stay above us is 22-24 hours, and wind to start this afternoon. Shoot, I don't have brownie mix!!
UpNorth, people do all sorts of stuff to make their mailboxes more visible. They have reflectors on them, and tall baffles, sometimes painted. When the snow gets close to the height of the box, you need something TALLER attached to it so the plows and trucks can see it. Some have those little orange triangular flags that kids put on bikes attached to thin poles, and attach that to the mailbox pole.

I just got back from my errands, and it is just starting to snow.
While I was in Costco...a guy came in saying it was ZERO visibility at the airport! So I rushed up to Lowe's about a mile away and got the bird seed. Costco was out of Snuggli's however, dang.
