As if you couldn't guess, there will not be mail today in the Baltimore region, according to the U.S. Post Office. It's just too dangerous for the carriers.

Some retail outlets will be open. You can call you specific branch. You can look up locations here.

As for tomorrow, officials will decide when they see how the roads, side street and walks look in the morning. In the meantime, shovel a path for your carrier to your box.

I know a lot of you have said that you haven't been getting mail all week, though the post office was only officially closed on Saturday. Officials say they the carriers were instructed not to deliver mail if it seemed unsafe, and some roads were just too bad to pass (see photo above). So, even if you shoveled, it may have been a problem along the route to your house.
