[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 452621, member: 12570"] Shame on me for taking the night off from BC and going to dinner and a movie. I missed all of this and have just now spent this morning getting caught up. A foot of snow here is merely a nuisance while a foot of snow in an area with an annual snowfall (according to Wikipedia) of 13 inches can be crippling. An objective view of this would lead to the conclusion that much could have been done on both sides to alleviate this situation. UPS could have added sorts on both Sundays and hired additional helpers, rented additonal vehicles and/or brought in workers/vehicles from neighboring unaffected centers. The city of Seattle shares part of the blame with their inability to deal with the aftermath of a snowstorm. Opening up the customer counter for customers to P/U their pkgs would be a logistical nightmare which could have the potential to escalate in to a situation none of us wish to imagine. Patience and perserverance are what will get our co-workers in Seattlle and the surrounding areas through what Sober described as an "unmitigated disaster". Be safe first and foremost and best of luck to you all. [/QUOTE]
