MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The actual phrase is "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds," but in this case, it's safe to include "cold" among those extreme conditions.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Postal Service told WCCO that mail carriers will be out Tuesday.
