Bob it looks like you have more snow there then we have here . I think we are going to get more snow tonight . Could be 30 cm but less for your area .

Don't know if I want to get into that, crashed Drone Air Two yesterday trying to deliver to Mrs. X again. Got to think about it.

Dropped it right in the puddle! Nice work. I can see a big future in documenting drone misdeliveries. Can't wait to see the first drone takedown by a family dog protecting his yard/driveway from alien invaders.
Seriously though, there probably is a future in drone delivered goods but I rather doubt the time will come when a book I order from Amazon is delivered by drone. It would certainly make sense for time/mission critical electronic replacement parts etc in a commercial setting such as a construction site but I don't think the FedEx or UPS guys have to worry much about job security.

Yeah, hard to say what will come from it all. Besides gps guidance maybe home localizer beacons for steady customers. Perhaps driveway beacon mounted on a heated landing pad/storage compartment with trap door with locker access for parcel. But to be totally workable seems like the technology currently in self driving cars might be needed...

The way UPS is around here I would end up with packages in the woods and who knows where. I have already had them deliver to 3 houses and 2 barns. None of them on my property. The new driver is doing well though. He wants to retire, so who knows what that will bring.
