Neither Rain nor Sleet nor Snow nor my Slippery Porch Steps...

My wooden porch steps are slippery upon snowfall, so the mailman/woman won't use the front door mailslot. On a girls' weekend trip a few years back I found this cute wooden mailbox. At the time I waffled on buying it. Now I can't image what I would do without it. I painted out the word MAIL in red and then added a board to the back so I could bolt it to the porch railing. Initially I was worried that snow would get inside and I'd end up with wet envelopes stuck together, but I was wrong.
