An open letter

Dear FedEx:

According to weather.com it is currently 32 degrees and cloudy. According to weatherunderground.com it is 32 degrees and clear. According to my personal experience it is a bit warmer and, in fact, partly sunny.

So why, dearest Federal Express, does your online tracking service say that your driver attempted to deliver my new printer, but failed due to a "local weather delay"? Excessively moderate weather? Overwhelming briskness? A distinct lack of precipitation? Do your trucks best function when the roads are, true to Santa Fe style, snowed-upon, unplowed, and refrozen into one continuous grid of ice? Is it perhaps the Winter Storm watch, which reads, in part,
A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from 5 PM MST this
afternoon through Saturday afternoon.

Snow will move north into northern New Mexico by this evening and
be heavy at times through Saturday. In addition... winds will increase
over the northern mountains and northeast New Mexico Saturday
afternoon and create areas of blowing and drifting snow.

or something else altogether?

I eagerly await your answer.

Kind regards,
A curious customer
