Neither Snow nor Rain...

There is an inscription carved into the James Farley Post Office in New York that reads, "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." The inscription actually comes from Ancient Persia and was in reference to their 6th Century BC postal carriers. Today's photo shows it's applicability to the USPS. Despite snow falling at the rate of an inch an hour, this postal carrier is picking up the mail deposited in a local mailbox. Snow or no snow, they were out for delivery today.
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, and boost black. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
@cejaanderson LOL Advertisements are all I get. I do everything I can online, so I can't remember the last time I got something in the mail that didn't immediately go in the trash.
