I feel for you! About a year ago I was awaiting a watch that was en route and we (South Carolina) got hit by a Winter storm. It delayed delivery by 3-4 days and I thought I'd lose my mind.
Good luck waiting it out.

USPS would have to deliver where FedEx and UPS can wimp out at discretion.
That would be considered a cleared and good condition road this winter in the Northeast.

Wow, here in Montreal we do not even consider this snow, it's barely just a trace of it.

Good luck for delivery tomorrow.

We're going over the 100 inch mark tonight here in Boston, that beats the annual average snowfall for Buffalo NY by almost 10 inches...

Ha. We have an office in Jacksonville and they have had a couple of flakes in the air this year and you would have thought the world was coming to an end.

Yep, here in Edmonton that would literally be considered a dusting of snow.. They probably wouldn't even consider it an actual snowfall..

I feel your pain, waiting sucks, but here in Canada that amount of snow wouldn't cause a delay in your tee time
Good luck

You're right!! I thought I would be looking for the dial I wanted for a long time and BAM it popped up with DavidSW exactly what I was looking for. I hadn't seen one in the several months I have been looking. A few emails later and he had it on the way.

Pic's for sure when I get it home.
