Below is my mailbox on Jan. 19, buried in snow.

Below is my mailbox on Feb. 17, completely swallowed up by something that resembles a glacier.

Below is my mailbox on March 5, somewhat more accessible.

And here is my mailbox today, March 15, looking very official.

It’s been so long covered in snow that I didn’t even remember there was a rock near the base of the mailbox. And please note that the grass is peeking through the snow along the curb in the neighbors’ yard. Grass!

Yes, the mailbox meltdown is fully underway, and spring has shipped!
