Some print copies of The Daily Times may be arriving late this morning as our carriers navigate snowed-covered streets. We appreciate your patience as we seek to safely distribute Saturday newspapers to our customers."

I was a paperboy in Upstate NY during the Blizzard of '66. Over 100 inches of snow fell in 4 1/2 days. The wind blew at over 50 miles an hour. School was out for ten days, and in Upstate NY that's really saying something.
I delivered ALL of my papers that week during the storm, and the only delay was because I had to climb over ten foot drifts and wade through the four feet that covered the streets and sidewalks in my rural town. I remember at least a dozen people inviting me in for a warm-up and hot chocolate.

Now HERE ^^^^^ is some quality control. BRILLIANT !!!
These carriers are doing the BEST they can.... That is something I could never do..... I am sure they are doing their best! IF someone wants to do their job and think they could do it better, I am sure they would be happy to speak with you!!! Let's just pray they are make it home safe!!
anonymous 1:05, Give Me A Break!
So are the Police Officers, Firefighters, EMT, Public Works, SHA and the rest of the other essential people we so desperately NEED out there right now.
The Daily Times does NOT have to FORCE their people to get out there in these conditions to deliver papers, BUT THEY ARE!
Even the USPS stopped delivering mail because of the BLIZZARD CONDITIONS.
There are alot of people at the local nuesing homes that have no way home from work.
Joe, I understand that!!! I can't believe that they are doing it..... That is what I was saying.... I am sure if the carriers didn't deliver they would be without a job!
Were in white-out conditions.
My mom got her news paper this morning.She said she wasn't even looking for one to come today becuase of the weather.But it was in the drive way.When we went out to clear off some of the snow.
Hey you 5 upstate NY paperboys who delivered papers during the blizzard of 66, did you have to drive a car to deliver papers. I also delivered papers in the 50s when I was a teen. Delivering on the streets was much easier than delivering in the rural areas of today. I speak from knowledge.

The Daily Times should be fined for having delivery people out on the roads during this SNOW EMERGENCY. The carriers are NOT emergency personnel. They are delivering nothing that is vital to life. And that damned 8 cents a paper they pay them isn't worth going out and risking your life over just to deliver 6 pages of non news on a Saturday morning.
