Winter conditions do not maintain a constant temperature. Occassionally, in the middle of a thaw, the temperature will drop suddenly. This causes all the puddles of melted snow to freeze. Likewise, all run-off from a house gutter will freeze.
Use extreme caution when leaving the safety of home to get the mail. If you have a downspout right next to your mailbox, you likely will have a large, watery-looking patch of ice directly beneath your mailbox.
Warning: should you succumb to the ice, do NOT attempt to stay upright by grabbing onto your mailbox! You will only injure your hand and look like an idiot.
