    1/6" of snow? and that stopped UPS? You live in IL, that's nothing for our area, that's regular driving speeds even.

    My brother in law has been a driver with UPS for over 15 years. They have never closed his terminal for bad weather in the time he's worked there. Not once. We had 8 inches of snow on top of ice/sleet last week here, he worked 12-15 hr days to get his route done. I'm guessing you had a tad more than 1/6th of an inch of snow.;)

    That's odd. It doesn't matter how much snow we get here the ups guys keep on truckin. I had a package delivered the other day and there was about 3in of snow on the road then.

    They were probalby running behind schedule with it and just blamed it on the snow to cover their ass.
