Your package was probably sitting on a truck buried under six feet of snow. There was just a major storm in Western New York. Vehicles were stranded for days. Something like 10-15 people died.
I think todays storm is going to be more to the east.
I must be lucky, in the past fifty years, I've only had one item damaged by UPS, and they replaced it.
Regarding trains: does UPS move anything by rail?
