The United States Postal Service tries to deliver parcels on time, regardless of weather conditions.
In advance of Winter Storm Landon’s anticipated arrival in the Weather Edge area, USPS officials are asking residents to clear snow and ice from sidewalks, stairs and mailboxes to help letter carriers
deliver the mail.
Hazards such as uneven surfaces, wet pavement, and snow and ice can naturally pose a serious threat to Postal Service employees.
Maintaining a clear path to the mailbox — including steps, porches, walkways and street approach — will help letter carriers maintain consistent delivery service.
Customers receiving door delivery should make sure their sidewalks, steps and porches are clear.
Customers receiving curbside delivery should remove snow piles left by snowplows to keep access to their mailboxes clear for letter carriers.
Residents and businesses with blue collection boxes near their property are asked to keep them clear of snow and ice.
